[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekmishra:
do you know that many phones having much lower specs than galaxy 3 are running gingerbread as smooth as Froyo eg. Wildfire

& in the official launch of gingerbread it was started that if your phone can run Froyo it can run gingerbread smoother than it.

"Galaxy 3 us not upgradeable"that's what the Samsung is selling us,N'djamena those *****es care only for the the pre profit they can generate, which acc. To them would be affected as consumers wouldn't buy new launches.

I tell you G3 can run gingerbread & may be ICS also.. You want proof? Its already running 2.3.5 CM7..

BUT, if you expect it will official it is no neuter than a day-dream..

So, better request our AWESOME DEVELOPERS TO PORT IT & SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAYS WHEN YOU CAN IN THIS ENDEAVOUR! :cool:
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raja4sure:
Guys...please stop this frustration over SAMSUNG.........I know u all are angry on their Business Policy..................even i am angry for their negligence to such a great Phone(G3).....

But the truth is We are not getting it....

So just calm down......We will think about ICS Port later.....

First of all Let Marcellusbe finish the port of Gingerbread 2.3.7....

After successful completion...we can think of porting ICS....Till then please have some patience.......
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekmishra:
Its not frustration I'm totally over it a long ago. Its the truth we must face. May be you felt the language was not so cool or anything

but I wrote what I felt with a little sugar coat ;)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratheekb96:
apparently there are no major perfromance increases in ICS but mostly just UI changes so this increases hope for us....besides, phones like the lg optimus one can run honeycomb itself so, evn tho the G3 is a less performing than the lg O1, it shud b able to support ICS :cool:
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brajesh.sharma87:
G3 may get ICS in form of CM9 (depends on marcelusbe :P).

I have read on CM forum that CM9 (will be based on ICS) can run on all the fone which has -

RAM : 256 MB

Phone must have GPU

lets hope for the best.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
My goal is to determine if it is possible to flash Rom's, as well as Kernels and Modems without incrementing the flash counter. I've already gathered some basic information about Kernels, mostly from Entropy512. What I've done so far, without seeing the exclamation at boot, and without incrementing the flash counter, is flash Entropy512's stock root package with odin and then flash one of Entropy512's Kernel zImage with adb. So I'm as far as rooted with CWM without incrementing the flash counter.

Next step is to understand the flash counter better.

I read in the I9100 forums that to see your flash count, you need to boot into download mode with the three button method. Since we don't have the third button on our phone, the only method I'm aware of for reachinig download mode is holding volume down plus volume up, then pluging in the usb cable. Then at the warning screen with the yellow triangle, press Volume up to enter download mode. When done gathering information, don't flash anything, just pull the battery and then reboot the phone. Entering download mode by itself does nothing to the the flash counter. Flashing a stock kernel and system image in odin also does not increment the counter.

At the top of the screen you will see something like:

Odin Mode (in red letters)

Product Name: SGH-I777

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

That's what my phone shows right now. I'm going to keep my flash counter at 0 if at all possible, so I'm not doing any random testing right now. I'm assuming that if you flash a non-stock image with odin that the above information will be different. I'd also be interested to know if flashing with Heimdall increments the flash counter. Does the Custom Binary Download field reflect the number of times you've flashed, or just say Yes?

What does your phone show in these fields, compared to what you've flashed.

BTW, does anyone know any other methods for getting into download mode? And if so, does that method show the same info on the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If you have root, you can use terminal emulator.

su
reboot download

This will put you into download mode, but it bypasses the flash warning you get when entering download mode via volume and USB insert, and you will not get the info you are talking about
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
And the same with adb no doubt. Actually I was wondering if there is any other way to enter download mode with just the phone, maybe a button combo that does not require plugging in the usb cable like the I9100 does? Guess I wasn't real clear with the initial question. Finished that up just as I was running out the door. And it's good to know that using terminal emulator, and presumably adb, will not display the flash warning.

You need to start the movie. Select 3d. Hide the menu. Reshow the menu and use the 3d formatted to side by side

(The button to the left ofnhome)

my was saying sound not supported

and some videos there would not be sound playing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuna-83:
Issue: I can download music and play it over wifi only. I can't over my 3G connection. I don't have 4g so I can't say... (Yes, I have checked my settings and playing over 3g connection is enabled).

I am rooted and running star burst stable.

I didn't have any issue before on my epic touch, however it isn't nearly as smooth an ordeal as it was on my evo.

Anyone else having issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuna-83:
Does no one else have this problem? It isn't tied to my rom and I have no idea what the issue is.

Does no one else even use google music? This is a serious pain that I can't seem to figure out.
[Desire HD General] danalive:
Hi All,

Just curious as to what music is best suited to the Beats functionality.

Do you need the Beats headphones to get good general listening?

Or is it just for the Dre-ish types of music?

I've tested it on my setup: good pair of Audio Technica closed headphones, some top-produced prog rock albums and pop albums (using RCMix 3D Runny).

So.. what music do you listen to?

Cheers,

Dan.
[Desire HD General] metaldood:
I prefer SRS > Dolby> Beats > HTC 5.1 Surround
[Desire HD General] danalive:
I listen to some metal too amongst the rock and have found the same as you :)
[Desire HD General] AtypicalWinter:
+1 here,

also another note am using Sure SE115's

Beats is OK but SRS so much better for sound,

but what tops them both is CM7 and DSP, talk about sound repoduction and tailored just how you want it, have been a cm7 convert just because of this :cool:
[Desire HD General] sparky_boi:
Listen to R&B ;)

But I prefer SRS through ear phones, better sound IMO.
[Desire HD General] danalive:
I'm wondering whether it's only good through Beats headphones!

If so, Dre will be making a fair dollar!
[Desire HD General] GuestK00156:
IMHO DSP is far better than anything else. Beats is the lowest of the crappiest out there. The only thing that Beats audio processing sounds remotely good with is beats headphones.
[Desire HD General] plskillme:
I don't have beats... DSP manager + PowerAmp, even $20-ish headphones would sound like a $100 headphone with those two on :D

I listen to metal primarily, so I'm not in need of heavy bass.
[Desire HD General] danalive:
I knew it... Beats only an EQ curve?!

And some Rock/Metal/Punk
[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
DSP is the way to go
[Desire HD General] Gtj94:
I listen to house, electronic house, dubstep

And I find that with earphones in SRS is that way to go and using speaker phone, beats. (runny3.0)
[Desire HD General] matthewscott:
rock and metal
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
Some dubstep and rock, little bit of house

To be honest I like it. It may just be an eq curve on the Dhd but what did you expect, its not like its gonna change the hardware is it. dunno about anyone else experience but for me its much better than srs or dolby with stock headphones.

PS anyone saying its just an eq curve, its been proven not to be on beats enabled phones by Engadget.they've tested it with no beats on and with beats enabled with both regular headphones and beats headphones and that there I'd most certainly a difference, maybe not enough to justify the pr drive that HTC are doing, but its certainly more than just any old equalizer settings

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I have been an AT&T customer for 9 years now and still have my original voice plan which has since been replaced by more expensive plans. I initially tried to upgrade from my iphone 3s to the SG2 via the internet but I could not get the $199 price. I called into Small Business Support (my account is linked to my company's so I get a discount on my monthly bill). AT&T support said that my voice plan was so obsoleted so I would have to upgrade to a current plan. However, to even get close to the minutes I have, I would have to pay about $25 more a month. On top of that, I would lose my true unlimited data plan I had with my iphone 3gs. I told the rep I have a been a customer for 9 years, yada, yada but they would not budge.

Feeling pretty mad about the situation I walked into an AT&T store, chatted up some young kid, got my $199 upgrade, kept my voice and data plan.

Moral to the story, do not upgrade over the net or phone. The folks on the phone are trained to read from a script and not deviate at all. It may be less convenient, but go into a store, talk to someone. I have found people at the stores are almost always willing to "pull some strings" and work with you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Call again. You are grand fathered in for unlimited data. They have to let you keep your rate plan and unlimited data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
I called 3 times, talked to 5 different people...wasted over an hour and got no where. Walked into a store and walked out 15 min later with my SG2 and my grandfathered voice and data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kezell:
I had a similar experence......I had a HTC Inspire, and damaged it. So I needed a new phone. I called AT&T but they said I had to pay full price reguardless if I wanted to resign or not. Now keep in mind I am not up for a upgrade so I figured that was fair.

I couldnt wait for the phone to come in the mail and being I was paying full price I may as well go to the local store. I went to my local AT&T, and the guy there hooked me up with the upgrade price.

So I was able to get a better deal by walking into the local store even after I was told "no sir, sorry you have to pay full retail price. There is nothing we can do"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
Well luckily your area carries the phone, my captivate died on me with endless rebooting and I broke the digitizer by dropping it *first and only drop in 15 months* and I contacted att's fb page about seeing if the insurance deductible was dropping down from $ 125, as well as I asked about why should I pay for their branded sgs 2 when for $ 10 more I could get an unlocked international sgs 2. A csr called me back with in an hour and gave me an early upgrade with out having to pay full price. The only issue I had to order the phone from the store but I still get to keep my data and text plan *have family text and unlimited calling to any mobile*. $ 242 out the door but I am still with out a phone because the local stores do not carry the sgs 2 in my area. Moral of the story, is be nice and literally att will bend over backwards for their customers because they could have told me spend $ 550 or good luck lol..

Cheers,

Charlie
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vladm7:
@tboooe > are you sure that kid at the store didn't 'accidentally' upgrade your plan as well? I'd wait to see the bill next month before saying that you good to go with your old limits :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
LOL! I thought the same thing so I checked my account a few days later..luckily nothing changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Milkshakes00:
Even worse, I WORKED for AT&T for years. I had an Employee Plan(No contract,) and when I went to switch to my captivate a year ago, they booted me from the plan. I raised hell, and settled on being in a contract, at full price, then asked them to grandfather in my unlimited data from the employee plan.

They said they don't have a record of me ever being a customer before I started my last contract, even though I worked for AT&T, and paid them monthly, for over two years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jparks29:
DING!

I've seen lots of unscrupulous dealers pull the same #(%#.. Only interested in the sale.

Mall kiosks are the worst, super high turnover and will lie to you about anything to get your signature on the dotted line... Waived activation fees, imaginary discounts, etc.

I have had a few customers who have come to me, I've let them know about the changes required (smartphone = required data plan). They were upset, so they went to a kiosk, where they were 'promised' that nothing would change, waived act. fees, etc.. Then wanna come yelling at me why their bill went from 120$ for 4 phones, to over $180..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I've never had problems with my local corporate store. I've known for a long time to avoid kiosks - ALWAYS go to a corporate-owned store.

When I got my Infuse, I was upgraded to the 4G unlimited plan. Grandfathered right in, didn't even need to ask, was told, "You won't lose your unlimited data" and I didn't.

Totally agree, they teased everyone with a video. No download link, only a link to their forum. On the forum there was only more questions of wheres the DL. To make it worst they just sat on this stuff for 3 days before ransoming download links. My guess is they had to do this cause it took them that long to make the apk.

I want to root my phone to get WiFi tether.

I am confused. What is the best way to root the phone? I see a Zedomax Vid on youtube which links to a "version 1" file.

Can anyone post a link for the best way to root right now?

If I root the phone, is that the same as installing a custom ROM?

I want a custom rom eventually once they have been worked out a bit longer.

Right now, I just want to be rooted for wifi tether.

Thanks in advance and sorry for such basic questions, but I am getting a bit confused I as read through the forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] painkillaz:
My main concern with rooting the ET4g is the flash counter that I have read about here. I had my evo4g rooted so I'm not new to this but I am for the ET4g...Do these pre-rooted kernals replace the stock kernal? Will there eventually be a method to keep the stock kernal and root the phone? Will there be a way to bypass the flash counter built into the rooting process/a custom ROM? I want to have those questions answered before I root my phone b/c I don't want something to go wrong and then I can't get it replaced through sprint. The only reason I would want root is for wifi tethering...custom roms maybe but at this point I see no reason aside from random bugs that I would need a custom rom. Anyways sorry to jack this thread. I figured it was a similar question.

Edit: And maybe this thread should be moved into the questions section
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
You can flash a rooted kernel, then flash the stock to get back to the stock kernel and still be rooted. Both kernels are available in the developers section of this site. As far as the flash count goes - I'm not sure if there is a way to reset the counter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes there is its called a jig ..... Google samsung usb jig they are cheap but there are 2 counters and there may be no way to wipe the 2nd one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Use Zedomax's method - I only say this because he includes the flash utility (ODIN) and a rooted .tar as well as a helpful step by step video.

You do NOT need to install a custom ROM to root - you can use odin to flash just the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azmtbiker:
Thanks for the reply. Should i use the method as on youtube with "version 1" link or is there an updated version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
Go HERE and use that version.. it is just the rooted stock kernel with a few tweaks. There are also links in that thread for ODIN (the flash utility) and Samsung Kies (you'll need to install this to obtain the proper drivers for your device) as well as a step by step method.
