[Galaxy S III General] harise100:
Apple advised Samsung to build ugly phones

On 6.12.2011 a german tech. news site posted the following article

http://www.chip.de/news/Apple-raet-Samsung-Baut-haessliche-Handys-Tablets_53208546.html

(use google translate...)

The headline reads "Apple advises Samsung to build ugly Phones"

It basicly says, that apple send Samsung a letter on how they should design their future phones to avoid being sued over.

When I first read it back then, I thought "WTF!!!". :eek:

So it isn't "the S3 was designed by lawyers", but rather "Apple designed the S3":rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] v1rtu4l:
yeah, the funniest thing is following trademarked feature:

- display coloured icons on the display, when device is on

this is ridiculous!
[Galaxy S III General] Jirv311:
I will say that the official launch didnt really do the S3 justice for its design. I poked through a gallery yesterday of it and it really is a damn good looking phone. I'm not too concerned with the "feel" of it as I usually throw a slim case on my phones anyway. People said the GS2 felt cheap compared to the HTC Vivid and I didn't feel that. I felt the GS2 was lighter but that doesn't directly relate to a cheap feeling for me. I will most likely be getting the GS3 as my next phone because I've had it with HTC/AT&T locking bootloaders. I feel the AT&T One X is destined for the same failures the Vivid saw for having the bootloaders locked for so long after its release.
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Im sort of tired of the dupe threads.

General stuff to general thread, and threes enough other threads about the design of the phone, so pick one.

So ya I broke the screen!! What would u do, fix it or just buy something new? Dell will fix for 160. I don't need it to do much mainly just for working on phones (I have most my friends/family running custom) and trying not to get too expensive.
[General Questions and Answers] HTC_Trophy:
Well. new LCD cost about 100$, and 60$ for work - it's really expensive!!!
[HTC Rezound] ZombieCodeMonkey:
I am having issues with Wi-Fi on Venasaur ROM. The wi-fi will attempt to turn on then will give the message Error. I understand this is most likely due to the Wi-Fi modules but I am having some issues with fixing this.

What I have done:

I was prior running RezRom S4, so I re-locked my hboot and flashed the latest leak 3.14.605.5 ICS Rom to my device. From here, I un-locked my bootloader again, installed a custom recovery, performed Scott's Super Wipe x10, installed Venasaur Rom 3.1, and the Sense4boot.

I have tried flashing the Wi-fi Modules from the 3.14 leaked ROM, I have tried flashing another set of Wi-Fi modules I found on the Venasaur ROM thread but i'm pretty sure I was using the wrong ones there. I also have tried using Root explorer to replace the file manually and reboot the device as well. No fix..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
you should not be trying to install the wifi modules on the ivy rom... try to reflash the sense4.img to see if that will fix it
[HTC Rezound] ZombieCodeMonkey:
are the wifi modules on the ivy rom based off the latest kernel from the 3.14.605.5 leak ruu?

Also I'm having some issues finding the ivy rom...did you mean ivysaur?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
Yes I ment ivysaur.... But yes the modules are different

Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] aalopez10:
Download the latest ivy Rom 3.1 and open it wit root explorer or on ur computer and flash the boot.IMG from there n fastboot it....if I used an old boot.IMG ull get the error WiFi ...this fix my problem. So it seems u need to flash the newest boot.img from the Rom.zip or else it won't work
[HTC Rezound] ZombieCodeMonkey:
Thanks for the help. The night I posted this I realized my error...I pulled the sense4.0boot.IMG from the prior build of the venusaur Rom so that's what killed WiFi for me...also explains while the libs didn't work haha...

All in all for others to know...I just did a flash of Scots clean wipe x10, installed venusaur then on my computer pulled dinosaurs boot.IMG out, and flash it through fastboot "flastboot flash boot boot.IMG"

Noon mistake on my part. Totally been working with custom setups for quite some time, so out of force of habit with the majority of the S4 Roms thought I needed the S4boot.IMG ..

What is the best rom/firmware for gaming ?

In the ICS roms its reboot a loot.

Stock gingerbread with DooMKerneL. Remove bloatware apps and stop excess services. Can't get a better gaming experience than that (though some say V6 supercharger helps)
[Xperia Play General] kingston951:
Can someone give me the links ?

What gingerbread ?

Sent from my R800i
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
Stock is defintely what you want for gaming alright. I'd go with a stock based ROM so that most of the bloat is removed for you and not weighing down your device.

Something like JokaWild.

EDIT: by the sounds of it, you are going to have to do some research. Start by looking into flashtool.

Just noticed my above comment may have sounded condescending. It wasn't meant to be. Since you have flashed ICS successfully, I imagine you know how to flash a stock ROM. :)
[Xperia Play General] srijith.surendran:
From my experience Jokawild was the best gingerbread rom for gaming

What about for a R800x?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I have tried several different ROMS and not that these other ROMs are not awesome in their own right. But I always come back to my nandroid of stock Android 2.3.3

I rooted, then deleted all bloat in the system folder, and all the other apps that can be reinstalled to SDcard, map, talk, gmail, etc. I have around 180mb of free space according to my system/apps folder. I then used V6 Supercharger and set everything to aggressive with Nitro Lag. Now my phone is super speedy. I have no lag anywhere, all games play buttery smooth including GL games. I also am using DoomKernel by DoomLord and No Frills set to Performance, CFQ at 1.2ghz (dont like to OC too much just a tiny little bump)

And I also have a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB HC-I MicroSD card. Was using a class 4 sandisk proir an this card was on sale on a camera site for $30, figured why not and got it, saw a difference with GL games as well, before they were smooth with an occasional slight stutter but now its all good.

Just found it, its $3 more then what I paid but still a great price and this card is awesome.

So, I'm using an ICS rom with the new Adreno drivers, and I get better performance on Fifa 12 then I got with Gingerbread. Is there a way to install the new Adreno drivers on Gingerbread?
[Xperia Play General] BrownEye02:
I have tried most to all the roms as well and I will say I got the best gaming performance with the stock 2.3.3 rom (

bloatware free

) with doom's kernel. This had not only the best performance but also worked with most to all games.

I would of put 2.3.4 but gmail and google voice still wont auto sync. Once verizon decides to wake up then jump to 2.3.4. Hope this helps.

You will need to use flash tool (thread) to do all your kernel and FTF flashing.

Flash this: 2.3.3 FTF

Flash this: DoomKernel + Wifi modules (thread)

Boot up like normal and go through the setup. After that install titanium backup and start ripping out all that Verizon junk.

Install SetCPU and find your overclock sweet spot. Dont forget to set a profile to underclock you phone for when your batteries low. (I found that smartassV2 scaling gave me the best performance/battery life with a 1.6 Ghz overclock.)

This is for a r800x (Verizon)
[Xperia Play General] hackthis02:
That's pretty much what I did. I have the stock overclocked kernel, which isn't overclocked, but SetCPU is set to overclock to 1.6Ghz when any of my games are running.

Where in the framework do I change the H+ icon to the 4g icon and where can I get the 4g icon because the h+ really annoys me
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dman3285:
The H+ icon is not in the framework. Its in the SystemUI.apk in the system/app folder. Decompile SystemUI.apk and look in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jayjayjoker2:
Ok found it but how do I modify it?

I used ninjamorph and I was able to fix it
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dman3285:
Ninja morph is OK if you want to modify it on hour phone. On the PC. Just find a 4g icon you like and replace the H+ icons . But make sure they're named the same. Hyena recompile system ui

If a phone is HTCDev locked, then re-locked, it will show "Re-Locked" in the bootloader screen. What will happen if I flash an RUU? Will the "Re-locked" status remain? or will it go back to stock and show "Locked"?
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
It will show "RELOCKED"
[HTC One X] Steve.H81:
So isn't there any options to be shown locked again? That's sucks :( once you opened your warranty gone away ...I guess the best option to be delete the img file from your phone to get a brick phone and take it back as faulty...they won't find out in a store and will get a replacement phone :D
[HTC EVO 3D] johnmarshton:
My EVO 3D was charging ok until I rooted him.After root,I have tried 2 custom ROMS(Shooter BEATS NG/Virtuous android 4.0.3,sense 3.6 leaked).If I shut off the phone and plug it in,I see in the morning that the LED is green,but when I power on the phone it says that I have the battery around 60-70%.Also,since root my LED does something wierd,which it hasn't done before root.Also when powered off,when I plug it in the red light comes on for a few seconds, then the red light shuts off, then goes right back on for the rest of the charge.

What could be the problem with this?

1.battery not fully chargin

2.LED wierdish colour change
[HTC EVO 3D] RomanHelmet:
Go to the market and download a battery calibration app. It will wipe your battery stats file, then have to discharge the battery and charge it to full. Should fix your issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] Big_Den:
1. Charge the phone till the LED turns green.

2. Discharge till its about 2%.

3. Charge again till LED is green.

3. Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats.

4. Reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] johnmarshton:
I have done this and nothing changed.If I charge the phone while powered off it charges till 69%.If I charge it when ON it charges to 100% and stays there.(DOESN'T GO to 95 and again to 100 and so on).What can be the problem?Will this eventually destroy my battery?

yeah, I always do it no matter what.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tranqaura:
I was thinking about purchasing a Nook Color to root it and install CM on it, I was wondering what the current amount of multitouch points is now? Only because there's a game I want to play on it called Yubiosi, and it was originally designed with 8 multitouch points in mind.

So if anyone knows that would be great, thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
Nook Color only supports two inputs. There is a difference in hardware between older and newer Nook Colors where the newer ones can support up to 10 inputs but this is not supported yet.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Googie2149:
Wait... so does that mean that the newer Nooks just have 10 points? Or you have to apply a patch?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J515OP:
It means depending on which screen hardware you have it might be capable of supporting up to 10 points but right now there is no support for it. You will have to develop your own drivers or help others to do so via the link if you can. Currently the Nooks only support two points.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
My girl ended up getting a One X as her upgrade from a 2+ year old BlackBerry. It was between that or the iPhone and I think she made the correct choice! Anyways, she has the grey model and I have the white one. I'm usually a white guy myself when it comes to phones but I must admit the grey one looks really slick. Something about it just looks better than the white one to me. Almost makes me wanna switch. :eek:

What do you guys think about the grey model? Am I just trippin?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
I went to rogers yesterday looking for grey and they only had white, and said they would only be getting white :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nugzo:
Wow if we're having finish issues already no matter the color that is pretty damn frightening!! I mean WTF are they gonna look like in a year? 2 years? You cant replace it. I've replaced my sensation unibody 3 times already to keep it looking nice. Have a white and grey one. Its the complete housing too. Comes off with one push and only thing left is LCD and motherboard lol. They are about $25 on ebay. This hox AIO design is truly gonna suck in a few months...... To me thats the only thing i hate..and its a big hate. HTC Please go back to removable covers, replaceable batteries and sd cards.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
Yeah I've noticed that the grey shows oils and such a lot more than the white one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
The best part of grey is that it hides the sensors and speakers making the phone look sleeker. The camera lens surround in brown makes it less prominent. The display and body both being dark also makes it look smaller when you compare them side-by-side.

And a warning since the international version's been out longer, the matte finish does scratch and can be worn away by friction letting the shiny base material show through. This is a phone that

needs

a case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] randyspants:
does the white show the same shiny wear?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Eventually, yeah. But less noticeable.

Just get a case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Corriewf:
Gonna apply a little logic here. If you use a case to cover up the matte that you don't want to lose, whats the point? You keep it covered so you don't get to enjoy it, ever.. Then one day you sell it and some other person gets to enjoy it? :confused:

Just use it. When it gets ugly then cover it up. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
The white version looked really cheap to me when I played with it in the store. I think the charcoal looks a lot slicker.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I have the grey one and I do think it looks slick, but there's just something about that white one... it's sexy as hell. The only reason I got the grey one is I know that over time the white one is going to get scuffed up, especially with the way I toss my phones around. I hate using cases.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] methodz:
there was a white Beats by Dre headphone on display at AT&T that had the same finish as the white HOX. Couldn't of been there longer than a few weeks and it was filthy!!! I wanted white but dang it is going to look nasty in less than a year.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
Guys guys guys... best wear prevention you can ever invest in, is a simple pouch for the phone to rest on when it's on any surface and for it to hide inside of whilst in your pocket. That's what I did, and I haven't had even a bit of the finish come off and I've been playing with it nonstop since last Friday. Very cost effective to, the pouch I got was literally 3 dollars shipped to my house from HK
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrakifa:
I have the grey model, and I agree, it looks better than the white. I'm coming from a white vivid so it was a pleasant change for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] spyz88:
I'm pretty sure the white matte finish isn't going to wear off or scratch -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z137PoI6eWI&feature=youtu.be ;)

Pretty cool vid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
I think the best option for either grey or white is the full body invisible shield from Skinomi. I actually think it makes the phone look even cooler, which I had previously thought impossible.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
I already have a bit of wear on my grey one on the natural wear points (about a quarter inch to the left and right of the top edge of the speaker). Really only noticable when I'm intentionally looking for the scuffs but doubtless in a year they will be quite worn down.

But really, who cares. It won't be new forever and some wear gives it a bit of character.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dylando808:
i'm very very very very OCD about getting my phone scratched/scuffed. so i've always had cases on my phones. but the One X looks great enough that i may not put a case on it... at least for the first few weeks..lol

i even got the white one which is even more prone to dirt and grime, i think i was just mesmerized by the color. i would've gotten the Grey but i wanted to try something new. haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
That's funny because the salesman at the AT&T store tried scratching the white one with his keys to test it out and it left a ton of little tiny marks on the phone. Hard to see but definitely there.

Hello, I was recently able to upate my A100 to ICS. I followed the root instructions in the developer section and it worked great. Both Titanium Backup and Superuser say I'm rooted but I can't move/rename the wpa_supplicant file. I really need to be able to use ad hoc to tether to my phone.

Please help... :confused:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
I noticed the same problem with Root Browser. It is probably not using the standard /system/bin/mount or /system/xbin/mount. Also it may be ZeroNulls mount script not taking in account for all possible mount scenarios. You could try my mount script in this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1512787 and replace your /system/bin/mount and /system/xbin/mount.

If you are sure it's rooted then remounting from a terminal will work. Are you typing su before trying to remount?

If you are and it still doesn't work try this instead

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/

BTW root explorer is not free
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DravenAcer:
Thanks for your help. I didn't know I had to type 'su' first lol. That worked...kinda. Because I have to retype that everytime I rename or move something. Is that some kind of bug in the script?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Yes that is a bug in the script. Using my mount script Root Browser is able to modify /system files.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DravenAcer:
Looks like the old wpa_supplicant file isn't working. I did a search but haven't found any yet that work. Has anyone been able to activate ad-hoc on their A100 with ICS?

Yes, that worked great! Thank you.
