I was wondering if there was a test procedure to see exactly how good the battery in your watch is. There are threads about battery life but with so many variables it is almost impossible to judge, unless you really have a bum one. What I am thinking is to shut off all connections to phone...

So I got one of these S3 watches. Nice for the most part. There are times when I do not want to be always connected to the phone. It is nice they have this LTE version that can be used standalone without your phone BUT. Some genius thought it would be a good idea to plaster a nice big white...

I was looking to get an S3. What I wanted to know is can the watch be connected to the app store and download faces/apps without a phone either over wifi or if an LTE version over the network? Such as if you get a tablet, you can use it fine with just a wifi connection, you don't need to pair...

Hi, I was wondering what this little thing can do if not always connected to phone? I know most/all of the fitness functions will not work. I was wondering if it can display time/date, run a simple calculator app and simple calendar (no schedules etc, just dates and days in a grid)? With...

I am trying to get the Galaxy Note to work with the iControlpad and MAME4 all. I pair the device with the phone through bluetooth which it says it did. Then I load the emu, select "iCP", then start a game. It will not recognize any input from the contoller AT ALL. Nothing, not a single...

I tried to set the e-mail sound on the S3 by placing an MP3 file into a directory on the phone. Then in settings I switched to that sound under the notifications tab. The problem is that it still plays the old sound that I had set from the factory choices for e-mail. It uses my new sound...

I would just like to have a clean stock ROM, meaning stock EXCEPT for all of the bloatware. I really don't want to mess with custom ROMs and the sometimes compatibility issues they might have but the stock ROM is so loaded with bloat that it kills memory and battery life. Is there a such...

I assume some kind of root access is needed to zap the crap. I don't know how deep it needs to be though. I have a couple of 3Ds bought used cheap. One is hboot 1.5, and the other is 1.4 . on Sprint. The phone part is not even used, it is just used as a 3D viewer for movies/pictures now...

Ok so I have this import Polish note that won't allow me to update to ics over the air or over kies. It also now won't connect to the google play market over wifi. I just get a message "no connection". I don't have any phone service with this. I can connect to the internet though over wifi...

I dialed *#272*emei* But it doesn't give me the CSC. It does nothing when I type in all of that plus my imei. Yes I checked the number a few times to make sure I didn't get it wrong. How else can I find it? I need it to upgrade I guess as it won't update OS through kies or OTA.

I imported a GN when it first came out. I am in the US. I use it as a mini tab no SIM. If I try to update the firmware over wifi it says "no sim" or something. No upgrade. So I try in Kies and it says something like Kies doesn't support firmware updates for this device or something similar...

I have an old Evo 3D that i will be just using for a 3D picture/video viewer and want to get rid of/freeze all of the junk and bloatware. No buddies, friendstream, Spiderman etc. What I need working: WiFi, Google play, gallery, HDMI out, camera. I don't need the phone part to work even...

Ok so it does a bare bones function of displaying pictures in 3d, most of the time. But the stupid app won't let you zoom in to images that are higher resolution than the screen and still have 3D! That is insane! My Fuji 3D camera will do it, I can zoom in several levels and then pan around...

Has any enterprising EVO 3D dev made a video player that will play 3D videos from the Fuji W3 camera? This phone would be ideal for it, seems like a no-brainer. From what I have heard though the guys at HTC never thought of it and the phone WON'T play videos from the camera. Obviously...

I have an old infuse that is no longer used as a phone but makes this great mini-tab/MP3 player. So what I am saying here is that I don't always have internet access. Ok so I try this demo of a cool wizzbang new app on the market via WiFi. After playing with it I discover that I just can't...

I noticed that there is like a dark outline around all text, icons and graphics on this tab. It is like an old CRT video screen where someone cranked the artificial "sharpness" to max. It is adding outlines that should not be there and is quite annoying. Is there a way to get rid of that and...

I looked at my free RAM and out of 1 GB I only have around 350 mb free! That and I disabled ALL widgets! I looked at running apps with advanced task manager and there is all of this crapware like Pulse etc running. I cleared memory and got some back but not much. As soon as I turn the tab...

I would like to change the graphics of my status bar icons. For one I would like to get rid of the retarded Samsung blue icons for battery and WiFi that will be burning in to my NEW EXPENSIVE screen (Sammy should know better!) I would also like to make OLED safe icons for the home etc icons...

I notice that all versions I see are only 16 GB of storage. I am sorry but that is pretty damn weak for a tab. The iPad goes to 64 GB. I heard that there were 7.7 tabs up to 64 GB but haven even seen a 32 gb version around. Is this something that is just planned for the distant future or...

I recently was playing with one of those bloatware freezing apps. I froze only the obvious ones like buddies now etc. Something happened though. After I was done the icon tray was gone, and the home buton did'nt work at all. The phone was basically a brick because I couldn't get to any apps...

Ok so my Infuse was running OK. Then I downloaded a file manager app that can send/receive over wifi. I played around with it but then discovered that my phone got laggy as hell. The home screen was laggy and stuttery as i swiped through pages, and the live wallpaper that used to be smooth as...

I have an ATT Infuse running stock ROM and rooted. Is there a way to unlock the phone without having to have a non ATT SIM? I read some of these unlock methods and they always mention putting in another carrier's SIM after unlocking to complete. I don't have another SIM but want to unlock...

I made a test image to test how close to black your screen displays before clipping/cutting off. Display in any image viewer just make sure any brightness settings etc are all off/default/flat, do not view through browser, you may get different results. Do the test in a dark room. The numbers...

I made a test image to test how close to black your screen displays before clipping/cutting off. Display in any image viewer just make sure any brightness settings etc are all off/default/flat. Do the test in a dark room. The numbers correspond to actual RGB values ie: 10 is R 10, G 10, B 10...

I have tried Kies, I have tried the drivers from Samsung, Nothing. Everytime I plug in the phone I get an error. I select "connect USB storage" on the phone and IT says it is connected but the PC will not recognize at all. Sometimes PC gives me an error about how the device is not recognized...

I was looking at some photos and noticed something about the pictures, all shadow detail was gone! It shows as pure black. Now OLED screens are supposedly better at showing shadow detail as there is no backlight haze to cover it up. I saw the same photo on the Samsung Note and the shadow...

OLED screens blow away LCDs in almost every way, except for one, longevity. The blue emmiter subpixels wear faster then the others. Static images especially ones using blue subpixels can damage your screen. I notice that most themes use loads of blue everywhere. That is also the color which...
