Hi I recently switched from a iPhone 5s and I'm kind of lost I still trying to get used to the ui but I have a few questions. I have a AT&T branded m8 I'm going to root soon aside from that. I'm having trouble keeping finding a video player. As well as my downloaded files.
Is there a file navigation app I need?
Also my battery life is not very good any tips?
0
And lastly what are must have apps for this phone? I really don't have much in here yet although the transition is a little cumbersome I'm in love with everything about this m8
Thanks in advanced guys!

Movie player - try mx player
Navigation - Google Maps is built in, but this requires data connection. You could try Copilot or TomTom
Battery life - go into settings and click on battery - this will show what is eating the power. (Screen is a big user - set timeout to minimum)
Other than that look at those apps you enjoyed on your previous 'toy' phone. There should be a similar type app or one by the same company in the App store.
Enjoy having a proper phone.
Sorry I wasn't clear I meant file locator I download a few videos and can't find how to navigate to the folder they are in

Try Solid Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer
FX File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx&hl=fr
or ES Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
See which one you like better :good:
There're more on the playstore but these are the best in my opinion.

"A tool to manage your rooted android device with the simplicity of Windows Explorer"
I just saw this on download squad, its an app for windows that lets you amongst other things Install/Uninstall APK files right from explorer, Paste files from local clipboard to device, Flash Recovery Image, Control your android device with your mouse and keyboard.... and many more.
I havent tried it yet but it requires root + busybox. Its still in beta but it looks very promising.

I've extracted from the SGS3 rom leak and uploaded to SS.
It installs fine, it starts off with a delay but after a few minutes it works well. Works with calling and SMS. Seems fine bit buggy but working.
ok and this application is what more or better than vlingo
it is useful to test or not
Thanks for the upload! Some features work, others don't, one problem is though that the apps speech doesn't seem to be the same as shown on the videos, could this be because of lack of Wolfram Alpha or something? (Or am I just talking rubbish lol)
you're talking rubbish...
the voice has nothing to do with the app itself,
it uses which ever is the default tts on the phone,
you want a new voice get a different tts

I would highly recommend for everyone to go on the Play Store and install Ivona Amy UK English Beta application, then set it as your default TTS (to do this open the application) S-Voice sounds 10 times better and more natural like this.

It think S-Voice is actually vlingo since when you authorize Facebook it ask permission for vlingo not S-Voice.
Not bad but I'll stick with AIVC. It works smoother for me and the voice output is much better. The male voice is very nice, hehe.

Hey forum,
I have both the SGS3 and the htc one x and ive noticed that the dead trigger game is enhanced for tegra devices in a way that in graphics settings there's an extra setting called 'ultra high' that is enabled by default. I want to be able to play on 'ultra high' on sgs3 too however on the rest of android just 'high' is the best option. Now i've tried to use chainfire 3d app with the tegra plugin and it works in that i can download and install any other tegra-only apps. So i've uninstalled dead trigger and installed it again through market, however i still cant switch the graphics to 'ultra high'. Perhaps i need the correct shaders but i cant find any anywhere.. or maybe im using the chainfire 3d app wrong. Could someone please help me figure it out, it might help that i have a working tegra version on my htc one x but i dont know where to look for an answer.. thanks

You mean your restore one x ver with titanium backup and it work?

You really shouldn't do that; it might create problems in your ROM. You're better off just modding the file. It takes 2 minutes.

F*ck...That pisses me off. I may just take to complaining on their Facebook page. The Galaxy S III is a more capable phone than the One X or any other Tegra 3 phone. This is just anti-competitive.

I'm going to run Titanium Backup to backup my current version and then update. I'll also see if using Chainfire 3D with the Tegra plugin works.
well, you gotta think nvidia is probably paying them money to advertise the whole tegra thing.

Probably? Try definitely. I would've taken the HTC One X instead (since I game heavily) if it weren't for HTC's retarded bootloader lock. The S3 is faster but to me the One X looks better.
I upgraded earlier and I still have all the effects enabled. Didn't have to re edit the file!

I just wanted to report that I made the changes after dead trigger was updated earlier today and it works perfectly.
Really? XML is still there? That's good. I myself made a Titanium Backup then updated, and it's still on Ultra High, which is good.

You need to make sure that you have the latest busy box installed. For me, root didn't work properly until I did that. It really is a great file explorer for the nexus, being that our screen is large and I love the drag and drop.

I can't get root access files with this file manager so its fairly useless but it looks pretty I guess just not practical, went back to root explorer an es file explorer an yes I have latest busybox as most root apps need it :screwy:
Best looking file explorer app, but depending on the ROM I'm running I can't get root access because the ROM is using a custom busybox. This is the only app I ever have this issue with unfortunately.

Yep, I know how to get the SU dialog to pop up, but another message saying Busybox needed to be updated would always come up as well, depending on the ROM I was on at the time. Just letting others know.

Thanks. I'll give it another try.
Edit: Yeh, this thing is the shizz. If I don't run into any root issues I think I'll keep it.
Edit 2: Spoke too soon. It FC'd while doing a moderately large move of about 90 small files. Sure is pretty but I need something I can depend on. Back to homely old Total Commander...
Thanks for the heads up, its the best file browser I've used to date.

Im glad you enjoy it. I use this an root explorer at the same time to easy up my transition. Maybe that's why i haven't seen certain things.

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions on good wifi file transfer apps - like my last Samsung I can't for the life of me get this phone to be recognized by Windows. I am rooting and running the awesome Kang AOKP ROM.
WiFi File Explorer is having trouble moving files around - I keep getting network errors on my failed downloads in Chrome on my PC.
Any other more stable app suggestions?
I still can't connect mine either haha
I use Air droid from the market..free and works awesome

I find ES explorer to do pretty much anything I need. Wifi, samba, bluetooth, wifi direct. Also free in the market, and allows root access (su permitting)

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
Thanks for the suggestions I will check them both out... I already have ES but didn't configure any servers on it. I am having luck with WiFiDroid- another freebee
