The Android thread. Questions, comments, help, etc

Yeah, I was just going to report that the OEM music player actually allows you to close the app completely via the menu button. I forgot there was a menu button on this phone. It doesn’t light up until you actually press it. I blame my inexperience with Android phones.

Is anyone having wifi issues with the note 3? My note can’t seem to hold a steady connection. My wife and both have the note 3. She has no problems and everything runs/loads fine. My phone will keep saying loading or network disabled because Internet connection is slow. We will be sitting right next to each other and I can’t get anything to work. Everything else runs on wifi fine except my phone.

That shit happens with me too. I don’t know why. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even use the wifi on my phone

Switched to the Quantum v3 ROM on my S III. 4.4 is pretty sexy, gotta say.

Was messing with 4.4 on my Nexus 7 after finally getting OTA update. Glad they ditched the green and blue color schemes from the past… all white seems more ‘serious.’ I installed Google Launcher apk and I like the transparent nav bars a lot.

looks like there’s an easy fix

“try unticking auto network switch option in wifi settings
try unticking scanning always available option in wifi settings”

if you don’t know… hit the menu key while looking at the list of available wifi networks, then select “advanced (options)” and then uncheck the boxes for network switch and always available scanning.

i got my $50 credit from samsung for buying the note 3. samsung so fucking awesome.

wifi manager app helps too.
just disconnect then reconnect wifi or just choose a diff wifi connection.

ANYWHO…
FUCK!
SOUL CALIBUR IS ON ANDROID WITH UPDATED GRAPHICS!!!
ALSO…
KING OF FIGHTERS 97 IS ON DROID TOO!

I did that and I couldn’t send text messages when I’m on wifi

I had this happen on my Droid 2 two years ago. It would work fine and then suddenly act like I had no internet whatsoever, while my laptop and Xbox were working fine. 3G would also randomly hang, showing that it was stuck uploading when there was no throughput, and I would have to activate Airplane Mode to get it to work again.

I unticked auto network and it’s still the same. how do you get $50 google play credit? is the deal over already?

Hey guys, I have an app question:

Is there an app that can put your PC into standby mode? I know waking it up from standby mode is a little too much to ask for, but is there a way to make it go to sleep? I know of remote applications, but that’s too much overhead for what I want. I just want the option to put the computer into standby mode from another room using my device.

^ try http://www.splashtop.com/
its very easy to use and I was able to control my pc with my phone and it was fully functional.

no

still nice phone tho. SEENT it.

sorry spidey i dunno what to tell you then. people on xda mentioned the same thing and they said those 2 things fixed it. heck that message came up for me a couple times but it hasn’t since like the first day i had the phone.

i know kim rooted his phone so i don’t know why he’s still getting the wifi error. it works fine for me =/

i think the $50 play credit ran out. apparently someone on slickdeals posted how to enter any random ime numbers to trick the system into giving them the credit. here’s the site in case they ever renew it though. http://samsungnote3.prizelogic.com/

kim: i don’t understand why you would be turning off your network if you’re on wifi. if your wifi fails for whatever reason tmobile’s network should send the text right?

I can try this, but it looks to be too much. I don’t need full fledged access to my PC; just something that can turn it off (and perhaps on if that isn’t asking too much).

Anybody have an alternative to tubemate as a youtube video downloader? Last 2 versions took a crap “Unable to fetch video data”.

Yeah, Nexus 5’s No removable battery + No SD Card Slot = No Buy.

I’m probably looking at the Korean version LG G2 when I upgrade.

i downloaded an emulator on my phone recently and i recommended that i clean my android OS to help it run better. does the android OS really get bogged down like with windows computers? i haven’t watched any porno on it or anything. what can i do to wipe it or test to see if the registry or whatever is corrupted?

^what?
which emulator is this?
I have the Nintendo ds emulator on my phone and it never has asked me to do anything.
btw, godlike emu.
love playing Okamiden on it.
Runs smooth as silk.

but you can just download a clean cache/register app.
try clean master

What DS emu do you use? I’ve been using PPSSPP for psp games, while most games dont run perfectly they are playable.

Anyways, I get a message from t-mobile after my phone has been on for along time that I should reboot it.

It was gbc a. D. I think it was more of a sponsored link but I was still curious about about the registry getting clogged. I’ll look into into that cleaner . Thanks
