So I just got myself a Shield. (yay!) I was noticing that Nvidia has a list of routers that it recommends (here: http://shield.nvidia.com/accessories-hardware) calling them "Gamestream Ready" routers that are optimized for PC game streaming. Is there really something unique/special about...

I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but yes wifi calling is on all (or almost all) the Galaxy devices on T-Mobile. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Possible, I'm not sure. Back when I added it (about a year ago) I had to call customer care and have them do it as it wasn't available to manually add on the website.

Actually it IS correct. The app only says "...may use your minutes..." My info is coming from my own plan. As I said, you need to have a rep add wifi calling to your plan. (see screen-shot of my plan below) If you don't do that step, then it will use your minutes. I use WiFi calling all the...

TMobile's WiFi calling does NOT use your minutes, however you need to call Tmobile customer-care and ask them to add the "WiFi calling option" to your plan. It's free, but without it any calls you make using wifi calling will still use your minutes.

Personal preference, but my impression is that twrp seems to be the preferred recovery right now. I actually ran into problems trying to install CyanogenMod using CWM and had to install TWRP instead. It has worked great and I haven't switched back. Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

That might explain it then. Thanks!

That's what I thought too, but clearly that didn't happen to me given that I had 6GB of stuff hanging around after flashing root66. (using ODIN) Oh well, unless someone tells me otherwise I think at this point I'm good to go. Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, before I noticed your reply however I ended up doing another factory reset, but this type I manually wiped the /System partition using TWRP. Then I flashed root66 again using Odin. Now things look better, no more files hanging over from previous ROM's. I did just go...

Hey guys, I recently went from TouchWiz to CM 10.1, and today I went back to TouchWiz. I ended up flashing the latest "root66" TouchWiz ROM because it's the official touchwiz with root injected into it. I did this using ODIN on my PC. (I have all my data backed up elsewhere so I don't mind...

Remember the golden rule: most wireless carrier employees don't know anything. Just because some guy at tmobile said people were having problems doesn't mean it's anything out of the ordinary. (the update is working fine for me, fyi) Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

The last 3 or 4 roms here have all been the kind that don't wipe your phone.

I applied the latest image using Mobile Odin and everything seems to have worked fine, however I'm noticing that if I go into settings --> About Device, it shows the build number as IMM76D.T999UVALH2. Is this right? Shouldn't it be *UVALJ4 at the end? My baseband version did change, however...

I've only had it renamed for about a week but no problems so far.

Thanks, yes I'm already rooted. (using the T999UVALH2 image from this thread) So in other words I could take the latest rom from this thread, and flash it using mobile odin but NOT enable everroot? (since the image is already rooted) That sounds like a nice way to do it, thanks!!

I know others have asked this question in the past, but I haven't seen an answer: Can the "Mobile Odin" app be used to flash these images? (or maybe a better question is, has anyone here used Mobile Odin to flash mr robinson's images?) I've noticed that the mobile odin app advertises that it...

Does the proclip mount put the device into car mode when connected? Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

I had the same problem after installing the UVLH2 rooted version on this thread. To fix it I just tapped on the notification and chose "start" instead of "postpone". (just to see what would happen) After tapping start it immediately failed and said something to that effect. Now the...

so.. mobile odin? So if I'm already rooted, can I install this latest ROM using mobile ODIN? Has anyone done this? (just looking for some confirmation that it works before I buy the app)

I would like someone more knowledgeable than me give the official confirmation on this, but I'm about 95% sure that you CAN install CWM via Rom manager w/o tripping the flash counter. In fact, this is exactly what I did and as far as I know I didn't trip the counter. My understanding is that...

I've got the same question. Also, it looks like mobile ODIN supports "EverRoot". Does that actually work?

So riffing on his question and your answer, if you flashed a custom ROM (not using your method) and tripped the counter, would flashing back to stock using ODIN reset the counter? In other words, no matter what you do, does flashing back the stock ROM via ODIN basically give you a "do-over"...

This just happened to me today. Glad to see there's at least a thread about it here. For what it's worth, I DID enable NFC yesterday for the first time since I've owned the device. Not sure if that's related (probably not) but I thought it was worth mentioning. So let me guess.. there's no...

Hmmm, for me wifi calling works really well. I use it everyday at home and at work, and while I wouldn't say it's as reliable as a cellular connection it's pretty close. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Looks great, especially if it has the aux. out. My questions would be: 1. Will it initiate "dock mode" on your phone when you plug it in, or is that only available when you have a Samsung branded car dock? 2. Is there a way to (easily) mount it to the ProClip mounting platforms? (I've...

Tasker is awesome, but Llama is a great alternative as well for those looking for a free solution.

Thank you, this is easier than what I was doing before. I still stand by my statements that this is a really tight fit, and it definitely doesn't feel like the dock was "made for this device", but it does work. So now that I've used it for a couple of days, I ran into a weird problem: I use...

Re-read my post. I have the Infuse car dock and I was using it with my SGS2. (epic 4g touch)

I'm a little perplexed after reading this thread. I have the Infuse car dock and used it for months with my Epic 4G touch. (sprint galaxy s 2) However, I can barely squeeze my new Galaxy S 3 into this dock.. yet I keep reading lots of "... like it was made for this phone..." comments. Using...

Short answer: no. If you're running CM you're on a completely different build than the version of Android/Touchwiz that ships on the device. Longer answer: Both CM and the build that ships with the device are obviously both derived from the same source: Google's Android. So if Google fixes...

Is this because of the Pentile screen perhaps? Doesn't that mess with the actual resolution?

No worries guys, didn't mean my post to come across so snippy. And I agree that it would be great to get some coverage of this issue (though I personally haven't had it yet.. knock on wood). I also completely agree with poppygt that Samsung/Sprint will just blame each other until someone puts...

If you ask me, the only people who think Topolosky and crew are Apple fanboys are Android fanboys. Joshua's daily phone is the Nexus S which he's been very happy with, plus he had some fantastic coverage of ICS. (and was very impressed with ICS) First the Android fanboys get mad because...

Ditto. I too would love to find a way to disable the Vlingo app from starting by default. (I'd much rather use Google's own "Car Home") I'm using Llama on my E4GT and it allows you to kill applications in response to certain triggers, so I tried setting up a trigger to kill the Voice Talk app...

+1. I too would love to know if there's a "best practice" for how to manage the storage memory on the EG4T. Should I just put all media in the onboard USB storage, and then only use my SD card as overflow, or are there certain things that might be better put on the SD card? I'm probably...

I generally don't follow the cyanogen rom threads very closely, but it seems bizarre to me that something could be labeled a "release candidate" and yet have something as critical as GPS not functioning properly. Not criticizing mind you because I know that team does amazing work, just confused...

Thanks for the idea, I downloaded alogcat and tried it out. Seems like a really handy app, but unless I'm missing something it only displays the current logs. In other words, I can't go back in time and look at the logs from 18 hours ago for example. So if I had had this app running yesterday...

Hey guys, my EVO rebooted on me during a marathon I was running over the weekend. Really sucked because I was using a run-tracking app to keep track of my pace. My EVO is completely stock (running the latest update), and it has historically been extremely stable. In fact, this is the first...

As I posted earlier, I walked into a Sprint store and the rep put me back on SERO (after over a year of not having it) in less than 5 minutes, no questions asked. Yes I got lucky. But the point is, there's clearly no system restriction that prevents them from doing it. The only restriction is...

I got switched back today to my old SERO plan! (had SERO 500 for years, then EPRP since June 2009, now back to SERO) Here's the best part: I did it in a Sprint store. It was a corporate store, and the rep said "sure, no problem" when I played dumb and asked if I could have it back. It was...

Thanks again for your help. So here's what I'm gathering so far, let me know if I'm way off: 1. The ROM netarchy has in this thread comes with a kernel, though it's the stock kernel. 2. I can use this ROM in conjunction with a different kernel, which might give me additional capabilities...

That's correct, I'm not rooted. (yet) I come from the Windows Mobile world and am very familiar with custom ROM's for WM, but am new to Android. So if I get you correctly, you're saying that this particular ROM is basically the same as stock 2.2? So why would people be using this? As a...

Hey guys, noob question here: I'm running stock 2.2 on my Evo and I'm looking for a ROM that is as close to stock as possible, yet has the 30fps cap removed. Is this ROM by netarchy a good candidate? Also, (assuming the answer the first question is yes) why would I need to flash new software...

Amen to that.

So if I read between the lines, does that imply I'm trading the extra features for some stability? Historically speaking, do Cyanogen's roms tend to be more stable than the typical factory roms, or less so? BTW, no disrespect intended at all - I'm just an Android newbie trying to understand...

Ok, but is the OP right? I don't feel like wading through the other multiple threads. Is the current kernel fix a true fix, or is it a hack that doesn't really get us past the 30fps barrier?

One limitation of webos (at least in its current state) is you can't have a headless app. In other words, all apps must have a UI - either a card or a dashboard. With Android (and windows mobile too) you can run a background service that is completely headless. A minor point maybe, but for...

I doubt it consumes more than a fraction of your battery if left on. For that reason, I can't imagine having to manually turn GPS on and off throughout the day - complete waste of time. Even if it chews 5% of your battery in the course of a day(and I doubt it's that much) it's worth leaving...

Because users shouldn't have to manage their own memory. Apple folks already love laughing at us for that very reason, and even though it pains me to say it they're absolutely correct. I can certainly buy the argument that task killers are nice for those occasions when something does go...

Not to put words in his mouth, but I wonder if instead of "tethering" he simply meant internet sharing via the hotspot app. Because in the past that sort of thing was capped at 5gb (and still is if you buy a mifi card I think), but my understanding is that with the $10 fee you get unlimited...
