Anyone here with experience using a "USB C to full sized USB A" adapter, for connecting say my Nexus 6p to a wired Xbox 360 controller? This is the sort of adapter I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-USB-C-to-USB-Adapter/dp/B00VUKLYCM I'm sure I'll need a 3rd party app to...

I haven't had that problem, but ever since my last update a few days ago, gboard has stopped auto capitalising the word "i" for some reason. I've checked that "i" isn't in my user dictionary and I've even deleted all app data but the problem is still persisting.

Can I still get OTA updates from google after rooting? I'm not using any custom rom. Just TWRP and superSU. And if I can't, what do you guys normally do to keep the phone updated?

Came here for naked jokes. I was disappointed.

I use about 20mb per month, because although data isn't too expensive in the UK, the non data plans are far cheaper. £10 lasts well over 3 months for me without a data plan.

Well, I usually root my new phones only several months after I've bought them, just in case there's some hardware fault that requires replacement. However, my all previous phones were Samsung Galaxies, which had unlocked bootloaders. So, naturally, I assumed that the Nexus 5 would come with an...

No, I can't say that I have. The only person I know besides me with a nexus 5 was recommended by me to get it, so I suppose that doesn't count. Not only does no one have a nexus 5 in my area, but no one even knows what a nexus 5 is. Curiously enough the only person who has ever remarked "oh...

For San Andreas, the saves are located in the com.rockstar..... folder. So just back those up manually.

I agree that flash is dying and isn't as good as html5, but since many sites still use it, is it really that hard for Google to maintain support for it?

My toaster is already rooted and running cyanogentoast 11. I can't believe you're having trouble rooting your toaster. Why, does it run iOS ?

Darky rom for the Galaxy S. it was so exciting to flash a custom rom back then. And after flashing it, I thought I had screwed something up because the sim card wasn't detected. After several hours of flashing between stock and the darky rom, I finally realised, to my embarrassment, that my sim...

Unless that someone is Larry Page, he's either lying or using a counterfeit tablet with crappy half baked software.

Well, the Xperia z rom which you saw installed on the galaxy s3 on YouTube was most probably a custom galaxy s3 rom included many features ported from the Xperia z and themed to look like the z's UI. So, you obviously can't flash a Galaxy s3 rom on the Xperia Z or vice versa. However, you could...

My biggest pet peeve? Chrome. And that lousy chromium engine that doesn't support flash.

I've got the same problem. Chrome on my Nexus 5 loads the thread lists on xda twice. Basically, it loads the page successfully, and I can even scroll about for a while, but then, about 3 seconds later, it refreshes the page on its own. Why does this happen and can't the xda web people fix this...

Cheats don't work for me either. Perhaps rockstar removed the cheat file from the game, if there even is such a thing? ---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ---------- Not sure if trolling, or you're the unscrupulous owner of that website. It's obvious...

Try Torch. It's so simple it doesn't even have a UI, let alone ads.

Thanks for the replies. I'm downloading the MG4 rom now from mediafire.

I'm on cm10.2 and I want to go back to stock 4.1.2. However, no matter where I look, all I find are download links to Hotfile, which has been shut down. So, does anyone know where I can download a stock Samsung 4.1.2 rom?

Well, the quality of the photos taken on my Nexus 5 are better than those on my Galaxy S3, at least in my opinion, so I wouldn't say that the camera of the Nexus 5 is bad per se. However, that being said, the camera APP is simply horrendous compared to Samsung's. The interface is troublesome...

I really want to see multi window implemented. That's pretty much the only feature I miss from my Galaxy S3

Can anyone tell me what dynamic fsync does?

The exynos processor in the Note 3 is basically an overclocked version of the one found in the international s4, no? If I recall correctly, the exynos octa in the S4 lost to the snapdragon 600 variant in terms of battery life, despite having a BIGlittle architecture. Which means that the Note...

Haha, way to revive a dead thread.

Oh yeah, silly me. In my panic, I completely forgot to look inside the LOST.DIR. I've found all my important photos there. Thanks!

I know, but I only had about 4 photos on my phone and now they are gone. Considering the size of the .thumbnail3 file, I am guessing that it must contain some significant portion of my photos, no? Also, just to be clear, this is not a thumbnail image file which I can view. This file is of an...

Well, here's my problem. I took a few important photos a couple of days ago but now, they are mysteriously missing from my gallery and phone memory. Instead, all I have in my DCIM folder, under thumbnails, is a 9.4MB file called .thumbdata3--1967290299. So, I am hoping that this file contains...

Why is everyone making such a huge debacle over the 4.2.2 and 4.3 updates? It's not like there are any particularly useful or cool features in these updates. Now, if Samsung refuses to give us the 5.0 update, then I'd be upset.

There's probably no maximum, or at least that's what I hope. I don't get why everyone frets about the counter. As long as warranty services are not required, you should be proud of having a large flash count. It is the symbol of a true android warrior.

I'll probably only upgrade once Tegra 5 or Snapdragon 1000 or equivalent phones are released. Right now, the S3 still runs everything smoothly with little lag, so there is little point in buying a new one now.

Hmm... Both Perseus and Siyah kernels are not yet compatible with the 4.2.2 roms. Are there any good kernels out there for this rom then?

System memory takes up 3.42GB. Can anyone confirm if this is right or if I've somehow failed to wipe properly.

Yes, I believe Google is taking things slow now that Android is ahead of iOS. They probably could release key lime pie this year if they wanted to, but why do so when they are ahead in the game? It's more profitable to release it next year. That's how it always works with these big companies...

So, what warrants the use of the name "key lime pie" with reference to these wallpapers?

Oh really? Well, I just got an email from Microsoft saying that windows 8 is gonna be their last version. They're going to be helping Apple with Os X now.

I would understand if there was a major update of android that the OEM is slow in pushing out, but ever since ICS, there hasn't been any real need to update. So, so what if we had to wait a little longer to update from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. There aren't that many improvements, apart from the gimmicky...

Yes, I use the stock 2100mAh battery with Siyah kernel.

I don't think there is a significant difference between the processors of 2012 and 2013 in terms of real world performance. The 2013 flagships are merely faster, but the 2012 ones were already fast to begin with. Compared to computers, the new Haswell processors are undeniably superior to the...

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but is there really still no android app that can match Goodreader in terms of speed, smoothness and the ability to handle extremely large PDF files? I've tried all the ones recommended here on my galaxy s3 and nexus 10, but they're nothing compared to...

I'm not sure if you see the irony in that statement. You're basically saying, despite the fact that my phone could suddenly die and never turn on again, it's still a good phone.

I thought that was pretty obvious.

Yes, yes, I see..... Well... What about a ps3 emulator then? Lol

Speaking of 3d printers, can anyone tell me what's the main difference between a 3d printer and a machine that assembles stuff? I mean, a 3d printer basically uses the raw materials and builds an item out of them. But haven't we had such machines in the past that did that, though obviously they...

Eye tracking will probably be on the S3. Remote controlling is not possible because we don't have an Infrared blaster. And I believe the air gestures require a special sensor built into the screen, something which the S3 lacks yet again.

Just do a factory reset from the recovery. Also, some jellybean roms are known to have poorer battery life compared to their ics counterparts. So perhaps you could consider flashing a jb rom that has better battery life.

So far, the only main draw of the 2013 flagships over our GT-i9300 is the extra gb of ram. Apart from that, things like 1080p screens are pointless because you can't tell the difference unless you use the phone 5 centimetres from your face. The faster processors, mostly the Snapdragon S4 and...

Samsung is obviously not postponing the s3 update in fear of affecting the s4's sales. Remember that Android wasnt even mentioned once during the presentation. The fact that the s4 uses 4.2.2 is not a selling point that Samsung advertises. In reality, the s4 might cause delays in s3 updates...

Came here to ask a question. How many of you guys tend to close apps simply by pressing the home button, as opposed to pressing back or using an exit button? Because properly closing an app that you aren't using will free some ram and make things smoother. And yet, in almost every video review...

You'd have to modify the apk to enable the enhanced effects, which Gameloft only enabled for certain devices like the xperia play. Anyway, I agree that the game sucks, even with the enhanced graphics turned on. Compared to asphalt 6, there isn't even a single new map. It's like the Gameloft...

Also, this thread was mostly about the battery drain issues caused by 4.1.1 roms, many of which were solved by the 4.1.2 update and the use of custom kernels.
