OK I changed my screen density to 200 and now every app on the market says its not compatible with my device
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
There is an easy and obvious solution to this problem.
You may be exaggerating a little, but you're having the issue because a density of 200 isn't one of the "native" densities that Google's Android Market apps are meant to work at:
The "native densities" are 240, 160, and 1(20) or 1(40), I can never remember the last one, lol.
Simply switch back to either 160 or 240, and all those apps will "magically" become compatible again.

Instead of being rude. You could tell me something other than changing it back every time and rebooting the device

Yeah I could tell you something useful but it would take more time for me to type out an actual response than for you to find a solution by simply SEARCHING. Just to test my theory, I searched for a solution with the search tool conveniently provided by xda and found one in about 15 seconds. You should try it next time, it does wonders.
In fact, there is a solution in the OP of a thread on the FIRST PAGE of this forum. What a coincidence.
I've mentioned the fix and why in several threads, searching would have found the answer.
You can get your apps from the Amazon or Samsung market apps also. Those markets don't have a issue with your "density"
Its funny the market suddenly doesn't have a issue now

I found a few apps that tracks your phone down or even takes pictures of the person trying to unlock it, but like the title says, is there any app that blocks hard reset? It's kind of pointless if your phone gets stolen if they can just shut the phone off and do a hard reset to it and sign in with there email,
Thanks :-D

I guess in theory you could place an app like Seekdroid in the system folder and then do a hard reset. Usually a hard reset won't affect system apps.

you can't really avoid physical maneuvers. and anything baked into the phone's startup has to be a modification to the actual ROM. so no.

Yea it would, also it would be tight if Samsung had in app like that already installed, that way even with a master reset you'll still be able to find your $700 + phone lol, I haven't lost one yet (knock on wood) but still very nervous of loosing it, ill give android lost a try,

This is how I got around the GPS toggle not working:
Since AndroidLost.com allows you to send texts, I have setup a tasker profile which waits for a text that says "androidlost" and if it receives it, it enables GPS.

When my text messages reach cap my ring tone starts to lag and not play fully. Also my screen flickers sometimes. I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I can not find it. I assume most people on here don't reach text cap. We are most likely nerds right?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Nerds indeed ha. But I have not had an issue with any sort of ring lag. I just use the beep for messages though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I have seen this asked once maybe around 2 weeks ago if I'm remembering right. But I don't remember if they found a solution or not. If I can find it ill let you know.
When you say they reach cap what do you mean exactly? Do you mean the point where it starts auto deleting when you reach the set number of stored messages?
If you delete some/many/all of your texts does it work right again? If you do have auto delete set , does it still happen if you turn that off?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yeah when they start auto deleting, I have it set at 200. And yes it does stop when I delete the thread but I don't want to have to do that. It does stop if I turn off auto delete but when I did that my text app was super slow opening because it got to full.

Ok. Well at least now we can be fairly sure we know what causes it. I know its not what you are going to want to do but you could either turn off the auto delete option, manually assign a much shorter tone to any contacts that get this high, or try this.... set the limit to something like 500, then when you reach that point set it back down to 200 and see if it deletes everything back down to that point. Then set back to 500 until it happens again. Or try turning it off and when you feel its time to clean house turn it back on, let it delete everything back to 200, and turn it off again. I don't know if it'll even work this way but may be worth a try.
I know these are just workarounds, but they may be easier to deal with than messed up notification tones at least until a fix of some sort is found.
Another possibility is using a 3rd party app, but I couldn't tell you which to go with there.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm going to try that 500 to 200 thing because I know I would forget to delete them. Thanks for the help.

Very cool! So when you get to 500 and set it back to 200, it does delete the 300 oldest msgs? Then you set it back to 500 till next time right?
I know that's pretty much what I said earlier. Just making sure it worked how I thought it would.
Anyway, I'm glad it did!

I don't blame you. Like I said, its just a work around, not a fix. Maybe another build would be better?
Actually I just thought of something else. A lot of audio issues have been solved by removing MusicFX.apk and .odex from /system/app. If you're rooted you could try that as well. If it fixes it flash DSP Manager to replace it. I have a copy if you need it. Just let me know

So, here is the situation with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Every now and then, when the phone is left idle and I try to browse to use the Internet after a while, the speeds are unusable.
So, I run one of those network refresh apps every now and then (which basically puts the phone into airplane mode and back) and that always solves the problem.
My question is whether anyone knows an app that can do this automatically, say once every hour.
Now, this is an issue that I had with my phone ever since I installed ICS on it and none of the different ROMs had helped and neither did flashing different radios.
So, if anyone knows an app like this or has a similar problem with their phone, all help is much appreciated.
Should be a way to do this in either Llama, which is free, or Tasked, which is a paid app.

Flash MiniTab rom. It's full note 10.1 rom, and it's really awesome!
Worked out? On paranoid it was easy to adjust dpi settings, phablet; tablet mode etc.. but never saw dpi settings on touchwiz so thats why just flashing stock seemed a good solution.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
If your phone is rooted, download es explorer, click on the favorites then go to root/system and open built.prop with e's editor and scroll down to
ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx
And change the xxx to default which is 320. Then exit and reboot.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thanks for the replies, I tried an app from the playstore to change the dpi but the samsung keyboard just kept crashing every 5 seconds.
Is the above method better or will the same thing happen?
The Samsung keyboard will keep crashing until you set the DPI back to 320. I believe anything lower than 280 causes the Samsung keyboard to crash. You might have to install a new keyboard from the play store or something if you don't have one so you can actually edit the build.prop file.
Just a note, if you go about editing the DPI from the build.prop, the value is actually in there twice so you'll have to change both lines in order for it to work.

Hey all.
I have had an issue for a long time on deodexed fc09 roms. I thought it was an issue with the specific rom I was using but think it is an issue with the rom that rom was built on. I am using the stock (for the first time) fc09 posted that is deodexed and has su and I think some kernel tweaks built in and I notice the same issue. My 4g sleeps and does not promptly wake upon an attempt at data transmission. Frequently I wait 5 seconds and often even need to refresh the page or action. Anyone have a clue as to why or whay I can change to improve it?
