So... My Galaxy S3 is now listed as a Galaxy Nexus

So... I plugged my Galaxy s3 into my desktop to sync music, no big deal right? It says "Galaxy Nexus"
I shrug it off because it's a fresh install of windows 8 so most likely it's just being dumb.
...
This is where **** goes down. Any time I plug my GS3 into my pc, windows UN-activates. I unplug it, and it activates on it's own. This is a known problem. apprently... But...now... my phone it's self shows as a Galaxy Nexus in "About"
Running Cm10 Stable. ...What the hell?
I look on the play store via the desktop browser to check out devices...and sure enough it shows a Galaxy Nexus. I try some random apps in the market that show device information...sure enough it shows Galaxy Nexus.
So...my question...is why did my Gs3 suddenly decide to be a Galaxy Nexus?

I apprently now have a NexS 4 hybrid

Did you check your build.prop. Think I remember in the past some ROM's had the build.prop changed to allow the install of Google Wallet. I have never flashed CM so not sure how that ROM is configured.

Alter your build.prop with root explorer (only thing I'll ever use for it)
open the ROM you flashed and look at the build.prop on there and see what it says. Should say SGH-I747. You can easily change it back but make sure you make a copy of the current one before you alter it.

ro.product.model=SGH-I747
ro.product.brand=ATT
ro.product.name=d2att
ro.product.device=d2att

I actualy used a mod that did somethign like this once on my kindel fire and it allowed me to access other apps and stuff.

Ahhh I did use the wallet installer! That must be it

Will this cause Wallet to explode? (not work?) Because that worries me.

It shouldn't. The only thing it will affect in the future with wallet is if you try to activate an additional card. Each time you need to activate a card for use on Google Wallet, you'll need to re-edit your build.prop back to the current nexus values.

Most people recommend Root Explorer's built in text editor. I'm not sure if it's free. I personally use the built in text editor in Solid Explorer. Solid has a 30 day free trial if Root Explorer isn't free. I wouldn't use anything other than those two. People have reported bad things with other text editors.

[Q] note 8 downgrading inquiry

hi everyone, first of all i have to mention that im a total newbie, ive only flashed a stock rom once and i was a copy cat nothing more.
I recently upgraded my note 8 to 4.2.2 which I dint recommend, Battery life has beem reduced to like 30%. so now im trying to downgrade it back to 4.1.2 which was much better imo.
I dont know which rom version to flash, there are many with different codes and country, here is a screenshot for the "about" section, please provide me with the best stock rom fo3 my tablet.

thanks in advance guys, and if u know how to fix the battery drain problem let me know, also some tips to prevent bricking my tablet while flashing would be great.

I have 4.2.2 and found most of my issues from Google Music app, and having over 45 GB of MP3 files. They show up as 115mb in the folder in system. HA!!! My MP3 files had some underline characters in the names. This is mostly from Itunes but MS media player will do it if configured in the file management for rip settings.
Once I cleared up the issues, I get the same battery drain as with a custom ROM which I reverted back from.
You should look for my battery drain / charge fix on this forum. It has all the fixes I could find when troubleshooting my issues with battery drain.
I get about 10% drain every hour with normal use.
When 4.4.2 comes out for Samsung Note 8.0 I am sure it will be even better.
Since using 4.2.2 I would not dream of going to 4.1.2. Haven't had it and find 4.2.2 has some features that 4.1.2 does not have. Just google screwed the pooch with Music player on their last two updates.

after flashing new rom make sure to do battery calibration - get app from play store - it will get you back to a more normal battery life.

Search for saferoot.zip.
You do not need a battery calibration app to fix your issue.
It looks like DVMS is your issue. Once rooted with saferoot, you will not need triangle away to clear your counter, just install four apps to allow hiding of root and disable DVMS.
First thing find Xposed installer 2.5 and install. On google play store search for Substrate and install and search RootCloak and install do not install the xposed version just the app. Search DVMS in google play store and install. RootCloak is simple to config and runs at start up. Xposed is a wee different, as you will have settings for xposed and various options to perform tasks, one of which is modules. From there you can activate the modules you install for xposed. Once activated you must reboot again. Yes there will be a few reboots before all 4 apps are running on your android. DVMS is an activate and forget app, about half of the xposed apps are that way. Though only a few apps will work with the Note 8.0 without any issues. With a keen eye, you will find that many of the smaller modules can be found in larger ones, Wanam module for example.
I have an extensive setup with Xposed for many of my mods. So if you have any issues or questions, I can be of assistance.
Yes, I find disabling DVMS to be the better thing to do for accurate battery measurement. Wanam makes both DVMS disabler and Wanam Xposed, the later has DVMS disabler as one of the many options in this larger module. You may opt for that instead, I prefer newbies to stick with simple tasks before diving into the whole enchilada.

[Q] HTC One M8 Camera/Video Recording Bug

I currently have the HTC One (M8) for Att and have the strangest bug in the HTC stock camera app.
When I go into video mode and hit the "record button", the button will only work EXACTLY every other time.
Now this is what I currently done to try to find a solution to No Avail.
Force Closed the app
Cleared the Cache
Reset the phone many times
Factory restored the phone twice.
Now the Google camera works fine, so this seems to be a software issue. I have got the HTC Camera app to work only once
by resetting the phone, and not installing any updates from the play store for the htc apps, and att bloatware.
btw the htc m8 is not rooted, as stock as they come.
If you have any thoughts on how to fix this bug I would GREATLY appreciate it

I have noticed exactly the same thing. On completely stock phone on 1.54.401.10.
I am learning to double stab the shutter button! Almost certainly a bug HTC need to squash, unless it's in the manual somewhere. Do you also have terrible strobing when you use live HDR mode?

Try disabling the Google Now/Ok Google available in all screens. I think it interferes with microphone on the video camera. The first press seems to disable the Ok Google listening, then the second press allows recording. It worked for me.. It seems to cause crashing of the camera app in some instances as well, according to the thread here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/ota-2-22-1540-3-4-4-3-camera-app-t2831209

Good to know my solution is helping people figure it out. I went through 3-4 wipes/restores/flash to custom roms, thinking it was either Xposed or root causing it to figure it out, lol, so I'm glad that you guys didn't have to go through that.

Just for info.. I am on ARHD 7.0, and used velvet.zip to enable Ok Google in all screens. Guess camera 6.0.772726 did not like that.. Any updated camera.apk I tried was not successful either..

UPDATE Android 4.4.3 Update Fixes the bug, (Currently I have the Att model) no more issues with google now and video recording, the camera infacts shows the mic from google now stopping with a message

thanks for this I thought is was exposed as well but turning of ok google from any screen did the trick

This thread just saved my Saturday! On VIPER 3.1 and I don't use the video feature much but had to send a short instructional video via text on how to remove a laptop hard drive and the darn camera kept crashing...disabling Google now on all screens did the trick and saved me hours of frustration! Thank you!

I hate reviving old threads but I am encountering this now on my Verizon lollipop M8. I turned off the Google voice detection on all screens to no avail. Then I find a nearly identical setting in Nova Launcher settings. Sadly that made no difference either , but good to know if that is the cause for others.
I narrowed the problem down to AudioManager Pro. The moment I uninstall it the camera works great. I hope they update AM Pro soon but I doubt it. It hasn't had an update since 2013.

Battery discussion

On 4.4.4 I used to be able to get 5-5:30 ost but since updating it to lollipop and beyond I nearly get 4-4:30 I want to know if anybody els has been getting this issue or how to fix it and yes all the bells and whistles are turned off

Are you using freeza Beastmode kernel? Are you on the OG5 modem? These have been my most recent bumps in battery capacity; the biggest since KitKat actually.

Heavy usage today but ready to plugin and charge for tomorrow. The usage for apps shown is a bit higher than usual but the overall stats and SOT are darn good. Running OB7/OB7 bootloader/ customized with Xposed/OG5 modem and Beastmode kernel. Maybe the improved battery comes from the OG5 stuff.

Debloated ROM, freeze or delete apps that waste away at the battery, use auto brightness. Look for apps that wake excessively. Have you tried L Speed Mod? It will make Google Services behave. I use that with default settings, dump third party apps' cache and browser cache (including Google Play and Google Play Services) every 12 hours on a schedule and use an app by chain fire called recently to keep apps from running so much unneeded. Watch for rogue or faulty apps in the Xposed error log. Source close browser and other apps that like to keep running with back to kill app and use an ad blocker.
But really I think it has more to do with being indoors mostly on Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi calling that gets those results. I have to credit the 5.1.1 kernel and modem too. OB7 wasn't always this good.
Half screen brightness would most likely to bright for me. What's wrong with auto brightness? It may save you some battery.

I used to do a lot of that disable things I didn't need like s voice and bloat but for some reaons I didn't reason calls or text and I credit that to all the mods I did with the phone so I haven't really moded in a while but since then I get bad battery life, and no I used to use auto brightness but then afew days ago I realized whats the point of not enjoying your phone how you want to. But dam you sure do a lot, none of that has any negative impacts>?

Not really. I go with what works. Some users just aren't happy with some things and change this and that until more content with it.

i did everything you said , got recently and also l speed rom, put the freza kernel. but my question is how do you put a scheduler? and how do you find out which apps run in the back round? if you uninstall google apps and apps that are form Samsung would that effect in anyway the phone?

I use an older application I purchased a while on an older phone that needed more memory expansion for app data. Link2SD pro did that plus had the scheduler so I still use it for that rather than buying another task manager. Couldn't tell which to use or if there are better or free ones.

Question Phone reset...should I?

Helloe
Since I bought the phone, the reminder subfunction of the Google calendar app doesn't work. I get reminded of events but not of reminders that I add. Other users jave reported it as well, but we haven't found a solution.
OnePlus support recommended this
"Please try reset options this will not erase data. If you only want to clear app data and restore your device to factory settings without losing the data stored in the internal storage, choose the Reset all settings option in the Reset phone menu instead of the Erase all data option."
With a perfectly working daily driver phone that's rooted and otherwise working fine, should I follow their suggestion?
Does root get wiped? Will I have to reinstall my apps?
Thanks

Try clearing just that apps data. Maybe use another calendar app if that doesn't work.
Google apps are a pain. Constant firmware and software upgrades/updates just mean more of your time spent trying to learn and troubleshoot them. Gookill is a mess.

Yup, did that, but I'll do it again. The app worked perfectly on my op7pro prior to this phone.

If you can uninstall then reinstall it try that. Check it's permissions and if it's able to run in the background. A Google search may give you more solutions; doesn't have to be that model or even brand as the same issues tend to happen on many different Androids.
If that's the only problem I would find another app to replace it. Not worth screwing up a good load over one insignificant app.
I use as little Google apps as possible. I use the native Samsung calendar instead. I use Gmail and Gmaps but Gmaps is a mess.

I tried to uninstall it but I was unable to. I couldn't even use titanium back to remove it for some reason. I should be able to remove it that way, right.
You have a valid point about not reseting over 1 app. Thanks
Blackhawks fan? Or you like the helicopter?

Indian warrior actually.
"It has pleased the Great Spirit that I am here today— I have eaten with my white friends. The earth is our mother— we are now on it, with the Great spirit above us; it is good. I hope we are all friends here. A few winters ago I was fighting against you. I did wrong, perhaps, but that is past—it is buried—let it be forgotten.
Rock River was a beautiful country. I liked my towns, my cornfields and the home of my people. I fought for it. It is now yours. Keep it as we did— it will produce you good crops.
I thank the Great Spirit that I am now friendly with my white brethren. We are here together, we have eaten together; we are friends; it is his wish and mine. I thank you for your friendship.
I was once a great warrior; I am now poor. Keokuk has been the cause of my present situation; but I do not attach blame to him. I am now old. I have looked upon the Mississippi since I have been a child. I love the great river. I have dwelt upon its banks from the time I was an infant. I look upon it now. I shake hands with you, and as it is my wish, I hope you are my friends.

This is what I get when I try to uninstall it using titanium backup.

That's interesting as it's not even present on my Samsung. With root permissions I would think you could uninstall it. However it may have dependencies.
Again I would bypass it by using another calendar app to replace it.
