[General] Sluggish GS3 Woes

Sluggish GS3 Woes

The main things that are frustrations are keyboard lag(Google Keyboard), rotation lag and browser lag(Chrome). I've already turned on developer options and tweaked the transition settings. With rotation lag it will take up to 5 seconds for the screen to rotate. With Keyboard lag it will sort of freeze and in a few seconds it will register all my previous inputs. With Browser lag if I scroll around it will sometimes freeze and in a few seconds it will register all my previous scrolling input. I am currently unrooted by may reroot soon, my phone memory has about a gig of space left, I also keep an eye on my RAM and try to keep it at a gig or less. Thanks for any help!

[General] Rooted Tablet to Unrooted Tablet Question

Rooted Tablet to Unrooted Tablet Question

Hey All!

I am eyeing a galaxy note tablet purchase and had a question.
At this time it is rooted, the seller told me he could unroot the phone back to factory without any problems.

Is there anything I should be aware of? Once it has been rooted is there a chance for the factory version to be buggy or different when reverted back?

I have no experience or know-how with rooting which is why I prefer factory.

Thanks for the help!

[General] Transferring apps

Transferring apps

Welcome to Android Central! When you say that you upgraded Plague before, what do you mean? Is there a paid version? I don't see that on Google Play--only the free version. There seem to be a bunch of in-app purchases you can make--do you mean that your in-app purchases don't show up any more? I would guess that if you reinstalled Plague on another phone and logged in with your username, you would still have all of your purchases on record.

[General] Enable Google + Backup?

Enable Google + Backup?

So to be clear: you open Google+, tap menu, then Settings, then Auto Backup, and then flip the switch at the upper right to On, right? And in System Settings/Accounts-Google/[your Google account], you see Google+ Auto Backup as checked, right?

If that's what you're doing and it's not working, try this:
1. System Settings/Apps/All, select Google+.
2. Clear Cache and Force Stop.
3. Now open Google+ again, and see if Auto Backup works.

[General] Typing on Android, coming from iPhone

Typing on Android, coming from iPhone

At least some keyboards give you the option to adjust the sensitivity of autocorrect. Look for the settings at System Settings/Language & input, and tap the settings icon (gear or slider icon) right next to the keyboard you use. Then explore those settings to see what kinds of autocorrect and sensitivity levels are available. For example, I have a Razr Maxx with preinstalled Swype (a little different from the Swype that is on Google Play). When I go to the keyboard settings, I can select "Word suggestion," which then gives me the option to turn suggestions on or off, as well as turn on Auto-correction.

I don't know what Samsung keyboard settings are like, but I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who can help you with that.

	I want to change the view/Activity of my app after few seconds I mean i have created a home View for my app and i want to move to the next Activity after like 3 seconds, How should I achieve that. Thank You asked 1 hour ago

	try this, Handler mHandler = new Handler() { public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) { Intent i = new Intent(FirstActivity.this,SeconActivity.class); startActivity(i); }; }; mHandler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 3000); answered 1 hour ago

You can make slash Activity. Try this code....hop your problem will solve public class SplashActivity extends Activity { private final int SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT = 2000; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.splash_screen); new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { /* Create an Intent that will start the Menu-Activity. */ Intent mainIntent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this, NightClubMain.class); SplashActivity.this.startActivity(mainIntent); SplashActivity.this.finish(); } }, SPLASH_DISPLAY_LENGHT); } answered 1 hour ago

You can use Timer for that. Timer myTimer; startTimerTask(); public void startTimerTask() { MyTimerTask myTask = new MyTimerTask(); myTimer = new Timer(); myTimer.schedule(myTask, 0, 3000); } @Override public void onPause() { super.onPause(); try { myTimer.cancel(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } @Override public void onStop() { super.onStop(); try { myTimer.cancel(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } class MyTimerTask extends TimerTask { public void run() { try { getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { // Do YOUR STUFF HERE } }); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } answered 1 hour ago

[android help] Google Developer Account validity

Google Developer Account validity

Tell me more ×

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

	I am about to create a Google developer account. It says membership fees is $25 but I couldnt get any information for the validity of this account. Also does it cost extra for merchant account ? asked 18 mins ago

	I'm sure that this information is in the Google Play regulations. 25$ is all costs of the GP membership. All others funtions are free. answered 10 mins ago

There is a one time $25 registration fee charged for a Google Play Developer Console account. i guess there is no validity for this .They charge this fee to encourage higher quality products on Google Play (ie. less products with SPAM). Points to Remember: The Google Wallet Merchant Center account which you need to link to your Google Play Developer Console account can only be linked once from within the Developer Console interface. Classic Google Checkout merchant accounts are used to sell online on any website. These accounts are not related to selling apps on Google Play, and can be created only for sellers in US and UK. However, if you already have a classic Google Checkout account, you are free to link it to your Google Play Developer Console account by clicking on the link provided within the Developer Console interface. Important: Once accounts are linked, they cannot be removed, changed or updated. If you need to do this, please know that you will have to sign up for a new developer account by paying the fee of $25 US. If you are not located in any of the supported locations for merchants and do not own the required bank account for receiving payments, Google may not be able to pay for the sales in that account by any other means. answered 3 mins ago
