Is it just me or does the rogers visual vm app from android market not work yet?? I know before the SR was not in the list of compatible devices but it has been in the list for a few weeks and it still doesn seem to work for me. Not only doesnt it work, but the damn app is HELLA annoying and keep creating notifications every couple seconds.
I called up rogers and they told me they dont see the SR in the compatibility list but if you search the app on the market and look at description its there.
I also saw a few posts where people say it works but i just wanted to confirm with people that have the rogers official app
EDIT: i do have a value pack with VVM
It's working fine for me. I hope you didn't ask them if it works on the Skyrocket as their version is called the Galaxy S2 LTE.

yes i know i,m just saying skyrocket because this is the general name in this forum
Does anyone think the app will work on our phone? Looks like it's released for the international version.

I just installed this. Seems to work just fine. Good looking, as far as Car Mode apps go, but perhaps not as powerful. Still, I think that I'll be using it a lot. Also, it seems to expect TouchWiz apps, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work right on an AOSP rom.

Looks good, but it would be nice if you could add extra apps to have access to in the interface. Of course, I doubt that will happen because it's designed to work with mirrorlink and follows some safety precautions.
Think I'll stick with Google CarHome.
I have it working on myphone running stock not rooted (yet) but weather dont work and i thought it was supposed to read your email? i installed for that but I don't think thats the case.

I used it on my drive home yesterday afternoon and found that the weather wasn't working for me either. Seems that it is too dumb to recognize the location services enabled on the phone, or maybe it just doesn't like Verizon. Still, even with GPS enabled and locked it couldn't figure it out. I suppose that's why they haven't released a NA version yet. Hopefully they just release it and don't let the carriers get involved. Also, I don't have a car with Mirror link so I don't know if that's working or not.

I too have noticed the the weather as well as temp controls were not functional. I also came across some functionality issues with adding shortcuts within the app. While the overall look is nice it just feels incompatible with our Verizon SGS3's. \
After a little searching I found and side loaded the google Car Home app and am blown away by how smooth it is by comparison. Bonus for being transparent and showing my live wallpaper, it's the little things that matter sometimes. :good:
Same with AT&T S3.
BTW which google car home app?

Car Home from Google
I got them on XDA somewhere a while back pulled for another phone. They work fine on the GS3.
See Attached.
So I don't know if it is because I was still connected to WiFi in my driveway or because I've rebooted the phone once or twice since installing the Drive Link app, but this morning on my way to the airport Drive Link had both location and weather. Furthermore, where I had previously been seeing some weird data icon in the pseudo status bar (H+?), today I saw a normal 4G icon. I didn't notice it updating the location as I went (i.e. the weather stayed stuck at my departure location), but it's entirely possible that I didn't notice as a function of being tired. Regardless, it seems that this app actually works! Can someone try rebooting and/or enabling GPS outside while still connected to WiFi to confirm/narrow down what needs to happen to get this app working?

This is most likly because you were still connected to the wifi network and it downloaded the data once you got a lock. When I plug mine into the car it disables my 3G as it thinks I'm USB tethering to a PC because thats where the data for Mirroring travels through. That should be fixed with the US release.
Hey guys,
My apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I was hoping someone could tell me/direct me to a unlock screen launcher or theme or something.
The unlock screen of my phone (Xperia Arc S 4.0) is incredibly ugly. I like having my phone protected though, usually by a 4 digit code or something but (call me ridiculous) the fact that I need to unlock my phone on this incredibly ugly unlock screen really puts me off the whole thing.
Basically what im looking for is to replace the digit lock screen with a different one (pattern is not worth it since its too easily guessed).
Is there any way I could make the screen which unlocks my SIM (which looks nice) unlock my phone too?
The best of course would be something like that but with out having to press OK at the end. (A bit like on the iFail where when you type the passcode correctly it unlocks with out making you press ok)
If anyone knows of something like this I would really appreciate a link or the name of the app or so.
Thanks!
go to the play store there are lots of good locker replacements there

GO lock :good: :good:
Thanks guys.
Really suprised I didnt come across these before.
Go Lock is awesome only one problem. Im already using a launcher and now its making me set Go Lock or Magic Lock as the default launcher. Is there no way to keep both?
If u want to simple n neat app as a screen locker, ill suggest Holo Locker
Try it for free..

I recently got to play around with some NFC tags, and a big caveat I have with them is that the screen has to be unlocked for them to work. There are mods for every other version of the S3 except for Verizon's. They are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712024.
The OP of that thread said that he would make a mod for the Verizon version, but he hasn't been active since October.
Would anyone be kind enough to make this mod? This was a pretty popular thread, so I can imagine it would be be pretty popular on the Verizon forums as well.

Hmmm.
I'm able to pull my phone out of my pocket and touch a tag without having to unlock it. I just have to make sure the screen is awake.
I'm (obviously) rooted and I'm running CleanRom 5.5.1
I use this almost every morning when I get done work. I have a tag on my sun visor in my car. I pull my phone out, wake it, and touch the tag. It sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home.
I like to see this also. Kind of defeats the purpose to have to unlock the phone, though I understand the reasoning behind it from a security standpoint.

Well stock ROMs i know don't have the ability to use NFC from the lock screen so that could be their issue. When I use Google wallet my phone just has to be awake not unlocked. Same with the tags. But I'm on synergy

Which rom are you using this with? I'm on liquid smooth and trying to find a apk that works to get the nfc going in screen off, I have the tags, but feel its pretty stupid to have to unlock it. Work requires a password on the phone so its pita...

I just tried this on stock rooted. It didn't work and I lost my NFC and S-Connect settings in the system menu. I *do* have Wallet installed, so that *may* have something to do with it. I will play some more and post back if I get different results.
I'm on Synergy ROM, and I actually have to unlock the phone (swipe the screen) for the tag to read. The AT&T apk used to work until the Jelly Bean update. Now, it doesn't.
thanks for the update! does anyone have an apk that works for jellybean?

yes I posted about this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32220217
So has anyone found a working MOD for a JB 4.1.2 ROM that does this?
I still haven't found anything for TW ROMs for the S3. I've been running Paranoid Android for a while now, and there is an option built-in that enables NFC with screen off. CM10.1 has the same option.
I just can't find anything for TouchWiz ROMs.
I just picked up an M8 today. Haven't played around much yet, but do have some questions regarding the lockscreen. Is there a way to completely remove shortcuts and swipe direction functionality from the lockscreen? I really just want the unlock icon and the only thing to happen when i swipe it is for it to take me to my pin keypad. I've seen similar posts with no solution to do so. Some state that they will be whatever shortcuts are on my homescreen. I know i will be running unrooted for a few months so no custom lockscreens for me yet. Thanks in advance!
bump
i was playing around with my girlfriend's note2 and hers does this too. i think i just am so used to having a custom lockscreen that i dont remember having these shortcuts. not sure...
Do a Google search for HTC aosp lockscreen. I saw a how-to near the top of results
ah, saw those. have to be rooted though. i'm giving my phone at least a month or 2 stock before i root. maybe... thanks though!
