    Can you run an app from a flash drive? (OTG)

    I ordered a "male micro-USB to female USB" OTG. I'll be saving my personal media files to the flash drive, and attaching it to the OTG whenever I need them. Will I be able to save a few apps and their data to the flash drive as well (like an SD card)? Posted via Android Central App

    HELP - Power Button thinks its being pressed

    I was having the exact issue. I ended up breaking the power switch off the motherboard (not the outer power button, the actual switch itself). Here's the story: http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=353874 Posted via Android Central App

    Home screens... Let's see what you got.

    Mine is pretty plain. Looks good on the pebble blue, though: Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using AC Forums mobile app

    I bought a OTG USB, not fully understanding what it does.

    I skimmed through a bit of what the OTG USB is about, and from what I gather, it allows you to use your phone like a USB host. I went ahead and bought one, guessing that I will be able to connect its plug into my GSIII, then use the the USB slot to plug in my USB stick to transfer files...

    Galaxy S3: When you break part of the digitizer, do you break the whole thing? (DIY FAIL)

    Call me an *****, and you wouldn't be lying. It looks like I'm stuck buying a new digitizer (fully assembled for sure!!!) because I got the bright idea to totally transform my phone from marble white to pebble blue...I actually think it WAS sort of bright, considering everything works except...

    How To Replace The Power Switch On A GSIII?

    My logic in figuring that out was this: the power button and charger cord serve the same purpose in the case of a powered-off phone: they will both turn the phone on. While the phone is off, plug in the charger cord. Then, IMMEDIATELY hold the volume down + home button. You can also do it by...

    How To Replace The Power Switch On A GSIII?

    Not the button that you click on the outside. I'm talking about the power switch that's attached to the motherboard on the inside (I broke mine off because it was malfunctioning). I'm able to turn my phone on by getting to download mode, but I still want my power switch back so I can have...

    HELP - S3 keeps restarting

    Ok. I posted about this a few days ago, and I actually found a solution for myself. I was having all of those issues, and eventually, my phone wouldn't stay on AT ALL. Yes, the problem IS with the power button...and my natural inclination is to kill the problem at the source...I'll get to that...

    Galaxy SIII FULL EXTERIOR MAKEOVER Possible Or No?

    Hey everyone, I have a marble white galaxy SIII that's pretty beat up. The outer glass is cracked, the back cover is scratched and peeling, and the outer metal frame is scratched and dented. I want my phone to look like new, but now I want it to be pebble blue. I bought the blue screen...

    How Do I Turn On My Phone Now That I've BROKEN THE POWER SWITCH OFF OF THE MOTHERBOARD?

    UPDATE: My first thought was to buy a USB jig (which would take several days to arrive). I knew the USB jig could take me to download mode, and download mode would give me the option of cancelling the download process, which would then restart the phone. I was pretty sure this was the only way...
