[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VishnuNJ:
Answer here...

The Galaxy S III has an interesting add-on - an RGB ambient light sensor. We've contacted Samsung about it and they say typical ambient light sensors detect only green light (it's the one the human eye is most sensitive to), but they don't work too well under fluorescent lighting. The RGB sensor detects all visible light and supposedly makes better adjustments to the screen brightness.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adey64:
No no no! It's not the led light! It's not face tracking! It's the light sensor that detects brightness around you then adjusts screen to match! It's one if the best features in samsung phones as most sensors respond to some wavelengths better than others making crappy screen brightness adjustments in fluorescent indoor light but an rgb sensor detects much more accurately the ambient light!

[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
So I got a Realook screen protector, it was a pack of 2, the first one was a catastrophe, and now the second one has a giant/long bubble on the edge of the right side (yet not 1 bubble on the left)

I'm not taking it off completely, that ruined the first one, but this is making my blood boil, any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
what helped on mine was:

1. before you put it on make sure theres no dirt because one speck can create a bubble

2.if its a bubble with no dust or dirt take a credit card and try to press it out
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
Oh trust me I tried card and nails :p

it's one of those bubbles on the side that look like they're gone when you push them out, but then they reform

and as much as I don't mind a few bubbles, the thing is massive
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
Just lift up that side a little and reapply it. the bubble should gone. You can use some scotch tape to lift off the protector from the screen.

---HTC Rezound with Tapatalk
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
yeah, my brother ended up doing that for me, apparently the bubbles were at my fault of having misaligned the side somewhat :p

I've already made my decision, but I was wondering what the general consensus of our forum is on this comparison of phones.

There are certain features of both phones that make it tough. Let me know what you think!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Why would you have decided on a device that isn't even out yet against another that hasn't even been announced yet? For all we know the Sprint S3 can be purple with pink polkadots.

This question should be asked...3 months from now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasoo:
If you don't have a preference GTFO. Simple question and I figured it would be fun to talk about. Do you have no imagination?

Confirmed:

GS3 could have a quad core Exynos, or the Krait. Evo has the Krait.

GS3 has all of those S features. Evo has ImageSense.

GS3 has metallic rim and a physical home button. Evo has dedicated kickstand and camera button.

Touchwiz vs. Sense

Speculation:

GS3 will have a quad core LTE-capable processor.

That's all I can think of...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdhscanes24:
You're baseing your information of an international phone. Compare any sprint phone with its international counterpart and you'll understand what he meant. There's no reason to jump in arms over something so small
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
GSIII in the US will not be quad core. Its already been conformed. It is the dual core S4. it can hold up in tje processing but the quad cores gpu blows it away in benchmarks. So really in all honestly who plays games that has to have a quad core gpu? Unless you put Linux on your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
For me would have to be the GS3. If sprint didnt EVOlize it and we could get a normal HTC one X then I would jump on that...maybe the new EVOs looks will grow on me.. I'll just have to wait and see I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:

One, should we create a FAQ with links to backups, roots, videos, Q+As we make, etc?

Two, I think I am going to reroot with a different rooter. When I installed this root (TouchNooter) I went to youtube, and tried to do what the tutorial said, but it has some error, and I can't download apps.

What one has everything I need? I mainly rooted so I can have a password lock upon opening nook, and so I could read the web. I want to google, android, and amazon stores. Please, respond ASAP! :cool:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcan96:
My network is like this: Cable Modem > Cloakbox Router from Witopia > wireless clients

the cloakbox is a buffalo box:

Router Model WZR-HP-G300NH2

DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (04/27/12) std (SVN revision 19152)

I use the cloakbox for an easy vpn solution for the users in my household. I can wirelessly connect to the internet via the cloakbox using my galaxy nexus running 4.0.4 as well as various other devices (Mac, ipad, etc).

However, on my xoom running Team EOS ICE release 2, I can connect to the wireless but not to the internet. I can't connect even to the router to administer the device (e.g. 192.168.20.1). I can see that xoom has an IP assigned in the android system settings and that the router has assigned it an IP. It just is not getting out to the internet.

I've tried changing various settings on the router but it seems that it's a xoom problem since other android devices can connect to the internet via the cloakbox.

I've searched on the tubes and can't seem to find the answer so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

thanks

first do you think it will come with ics? and if not is htc still doing unlock codes so i can root and s off this one . i was already rooted with my first one then did s off as soon as it was released . do i have to unlock to do s off or can i just s off ?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
Well recently my sd card randomly deleted all my photos from the camera folder and then proceeded to tell me it was damaged. So I formatted it on the phone to the same error of damaged SD card coming up.

I also tried to do it on my pc which I formatted to FAT32 with an allocation size of 16kB, it was successfully formatted but the damaged sd card error still came up.

I can still open the sd card using the adapter on my laptop and copy files to it but once I put it in my phone and reboot, it still says damaged.

Is my 32 card too far gone? I am currently using the card that came with the phone.

EDIT: I also did try the card in a different phone and it worked fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You should try to flash the stock images manually in fastboot if you haven't done so already. I'm not a fan of Toolkits.

Download the stock files: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju

You must extract the .tgz file first and then extract the .tar file inside.

Navigate the folder until you see the radio bootloader and factory image.

Put those three files in the folder on your computer where you have fastboot.exe

Boot into the bootloader.

Type fastboot devices - to make sure your phone is connected.

Then these commands.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primela03.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-imm76i.zip

Hopefully it will boot

I'm going to root my friends GSII and have a few questions. I'm experienced with rooting since I've been flashing roms/kernels since my old Evo 4G and my current Evo 3D, but I am unfamiliar with Samsung phones. I've read the stickies but still was unsure about a few things.

What exactly is odin and what does it do? You can flash a rom/kernel normally through recovery right?

And last one, what is a modem? Is that like a firmware package that we have for HTC phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
If you're going to do this you have to read around. Google will help you out big time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ncfastls1:
I have read around...I read everything for the rooting process as well. After everything I read, I have only those two simple questions. Is it really that much of a pain in the ass to just answer them? Whatever happened to a helpful XDA community?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
I'm only saying this so you know how to do some troubleshooting if something goes wrong. If you Google "samsung modem vs HTC radio"or something it Will yield results. Also searching for Odin on wikipedia I know will yield results. This is xda, a developer site. You're supposed to search before posting whether it be Google or here because chances are people have asked the question before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
For rooting or obtaining root access, I believe there are 4 options, all listed on the FAQ. It's your choice. For simplicity, I chose the first option.

Modem? Like radio, quality of call (?), quality of data (?)

Don't have enough technical knowledge to clearly explain to you, m8

To rest your case, rooting is easy.

Relax.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Odin is a proprietary software made by Samsung that runs on the Windows platform and is used to transfer firmware onto a samsung phone. You can flash firmware through ClockworkMod Recovery, which is built into the kernel portion of the firmware, but you cannot flash firmware from a stock kernel, you must first install a custom kernel which has CWM Recovery built in.

I'm not familiar with htc phones. Modem is like a radio on other phones. It is a separate piece of firmware that can be flashed separately, or along with other parts of the firmware, which handles the cell network interface, wifi and some other things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phermey:

i doubt any of that makes sense to you... but i tried.

and yes... some of the people around here would rather take more time to explain to you why they arent going to give you the info u need rather than just telling ya. i think it makes them feel superior. but hey... who am i to complain... they bust their asses to make the roms for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:

I haven't seen a list of bloatware / AT&T apps that are

safe to remove

. So I thought I will ask:

- Which apps that you know are NOT SAFE to remove?

- I keep seeing in the task bar a double-arrow icon, indicating that an AT&T app is checking for software update. As a matter of fact, I did receive a message from it about a new software update. Which .apk I need to disable for this?

Again, this is only for the bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DROID76:
I deleted everything that had at&t in front of it. At&t messaging, my at&t, at&t navigation and the at&t update services thats the blue and red arrows you are seeing. I did this through task manager.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
BTW, when you said "delete", did you mean "freezing it with Titanium Backup" or you actually REMOVE the .apk?

I froze the above apps using TB, but it is still shown in Google Play as being installed and needing update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slix71:
You can search XDA for "apps safe to remove". The SGS-II forums have a spreadsheet that works for the note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.

This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select

"Update All".

Can we SAFELY move the .Apk from /system/apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DROID76:
I deleted them. I froze them first and then deleted ecerything with at&t on it through task manager.

Just a helpfull hint for safety.

Personaly I would use titanium backup (in batch) to freeze apps you may want to uninstall.. leave them frozen for a few days to ensure there are no problems.. if once your sure there are no problems you can uninstall them (delete).. Uninstall can be done most of the time though the task manager .. but if that does not work titanium backup will most defently do it..
