[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] magiconthetire:
Phone is pentaband just like the Galaxy Nexus...speeds should be fine. ATT users and T-Mobile users alike have been using I727s and T989s on either network getting great speeds with the exception of the I727 having LTE capability

OP is simply asking for users to comment on their speeds
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Can you provide a link for this? I was curious about this and the only real/conclusive information I found was that it just had the T-MoUS bands and euro bands...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] CB620:
Mobilecityonline is selling them unlocked(Screenshot in this thread). I also called their customer service and I called T-Mobile both reps told me the phone supports the 3G spectrum in AT&T when unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dr4stic:
Found it (I think),

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/files/PDF-UQXMBGKK1DV0EAZS.pdf

That lists it as quad-band for UMTS, bands I, II, IV, and V. And according to AT&T's wiki page, AT&T does bands II and V, so it should work on AT&T. T-Mo US seems to be bands I and IV.

Yay :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] CB620:
Can someone do a speed test on AT&T so i can see what 3g speeds this baby is getting.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.:
Hi guys,

Well I'm going to be on a little vacation and wish to take some quality shots.

I'm looking for a Sammy rom(cuz Sammy rom have best camera on contrast to aosp/aokp)

I would just need:

* Good camera with good mods if possible

* Best battery life (Uv if possible)

Please kindly suggest

Neo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBoxer:
well best bet would be to go here and use one of NEAT pure stock and you can install the mods you wish.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
Just read the Development section and find one.

You should know we close these threads constantly.

[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
I'm, a total noob at this - just did my first ever SBF, root, and custom ROM flash all in one sitting three days ago (after spending many hours on here over the last week or two reading up on it). I started from a totally stock, never rooted Droid X2 that had received the 2.3.5 update during the soak - and used Moon Shadow's guides to SBF back to 2.3.4 and then root the device (using zergRUSH). I then followed dragonzkiller's guide for installing CM7.2.0-RC1. I followed all of these instructions VERY carefully and didn't have any problems at all - or so I thought.

When I booted CM7, my old background pic was still there, but everything else was new and worked great, so I didn't think anything about it (but now know this isn't right). I realized soon after that the Google apps were not loaded (Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc.), but some of the other apps in that same ZIP file (that was flashed AFTER the CM7 flash per the instructions) DID get installed (like "Talk").

I was able to download/install the missing Google apps from the Google Play Store (still hate that stupid name) without any problems and they all work perfectly (including Nav from the car dock) - and everything else has been running flawlessly. The phone is very fast & smooth... no bugs... not a single force close or reboot yet after fairly heavy use for the last couple of days.

So... obviously something didn't go perfectly with my install, but as far as I can tell, everything is fine with the phone.

My questions are:

1) How can I tell if I'm missing anything else?

2) Should I just keep what I have or do I need to SBF back to 2.3.4 and start over again?

I'm perfectly happy with it right now - but maybe I don't know what I'm missing.

p.s. I would have posted this in the CM7 install thread in the Dev forum, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well your post indicates that nothing is wrong. lol. If you have the google apps that you want on there and working now and everything is smooth then in my opinion, you are fine just how you are.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
LOL! Well, yeah... as far as *I* know, I'm fine... but this is the first time I've done this, so I don't know what I'm talking about. Just wondering if something else may not have been done that could cause problems later - or if I'm missing any other apps that I may need/want. Is there a list anywhere of all the apps that are included in that Gapps ZIP?
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
You can extract the zip and look at what apk files are in there.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

I just did it and this is actually all thats in there:

CarHomeGoogle.apk

FOTAKill.apk

GenieWidget.apk

GoogleBackupTransport.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleFeedback.apk

GooglePartnerSetup.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

GoogleServicesFramework.apk

LatinImeTutorial.apk

MarketUpdater.apk

MediaUploader.apk

NetworkLocation.apk

OneTimeInitializer.apk

SetupWizard.apk

Talk.apk

Vending.apk
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Thanks. Hmmm... I don't see Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. listed specifically in there. Is it possible that those apps don't get installed automatically along with CM7 when following dragonzkiller's instructions? Maybe I'm making something out of nothing. Is there an easy way to tell of those APK's are installed on my phone? They aren't in the App drawer by those names (well, other than "Talk").

I know some of them are on the phone though (Google Quick Search box is on the home screen, my contacts and calendar all synched from Google, and the Market/Play app was there (Vending.apk?), so maybe everything that's was supposed to be there WAS there. I thought I read in a post here somewhere that Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. would be there automatically too.

Told you I was a noob! :-)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I actually dont remember if Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. were there when I installed it. I really didnt think much of it and probably just installed what I needed from the Play Store. The main thing you need to worry about is being able to sign into your gmail account and getting on the play store. If you can do that, it installed fine. A lot of those APKs are system files and services. They wouldnt show in your app drawer. If you wanted to see them on your device, you would need a file explorer and navigate to the system/app directory.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheRaven65:
Awesome... I just used "File Manager" that's already loaded and found the system\app folder. Everything is there... I'm fine. I guess the only question left is why was my old background pic still there after SBFing and wiping the big 3, but I'm not gonna worry about that. Already changed it.

Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
lol. That happens to me when I switch roms sometimes too. The wallpaper will stay the same. Dont know why. But bottom line, you're install is fine. :)
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Hello guys, I'm going to "shamelessly promote" the video I made with the Galaxy S3 unboxing :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bFhWPZsgKM

I had the blue version for a while, now I have the white one... I've made videos presenting the S Voice feature, the camera, the PopUp Play... if you have any other suggestions, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you.

Regards,

Alex.
[Galaxy S III General] h3llboy911:
Nice video. And thankfully for us, it's in English.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
some much awaited tests are

1.led notifications demo

2. multi tasking

hope you have time for that :)
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
LED Notifications - I'll do that tomorrow, Light Flow style.

MultiTasking - tomorrow as well, because my camera's battery died...

Thanks for the feedback! :)
[Galaxy S III General] .Arkham:
Use the GSIII's camera.

;)
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
A small fun fact : if you noticed, the colors on the boxes are... on the blue version "Metallic Blue" and on the white version "Ceramic White"... Not Pebble or Marble :)

Also, here's the S-Voice demonstration : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_iFDigHo0Q

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S III General] v1rtu4l:
thanks, am looking forward to your video about the notification LED and the multitasking (please try to check the HTC ONE X multitasking videos and try to emulate them)

just seen the s-voice video and it is nice =)
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
good s-voice demo.....thanks for the time man.
[Galaxy S III General] g4rvd4:
Please also test the text reflow on stock browser. I am particularly interested in seeing whether it can reflow to any zoom level we want and not just to a particular zoom level by double tapping..
[Galaxy S III General] KapWorldDevp2:
Good video. Notification LED on S3 its good to have on it. So slim phone, beautiful design than its previous version, it will dress in Pebble blue and marble white colours. I am going have this device or maybe I choose other one.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
thanked in advance for the upcoming notification led and multi-tasking video.
[Galaxy S III General] Smartphoner:
Appreciated!!

Thanx a lot for ur demos, could u plz test the NFC with smart tags, net browsing experience and the wireless charging?!

How is the battery with or without data on?!
[Galaxy S III General] miahegypt:
could u check for a pink tint in white Screen

at both full and low brightness
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPfV...jQPIaifFCRn04fKPZnJCc&lch=email&feature=email - PopUp Play feature

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41fMmfwBnGo&feature=youtube_gdata_player - camera & burst shot

Tomorrow I'll do the led and browser and multitasking ones :)

I can't test the nfc or the wireless charging, because I don't have the hardware, unfortunately.

Will try with the pink tint :)

Regards,

Alex.
[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
If you have a note, can you check if the note's 2500 mah battery fits inside the sgs3 ?

[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
When you did the "best shot" demo, one can clearly hear 11 shutter sounds but the phone only takes 8 pics! :D
[Galaxy S III General] jrrasch:
Blue vs white?

Thanks for your effort.

Since you´ve had both colors, can you share some impressions? What made you switch?
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Nope, the Note's battery is bigger and it has 3 pins, while the S3 battery has 4. So unfortunately, it won't work.

Hmmm... don't know what to say about that. The shutter sound is too fast to be able to make the difference between them. Still, it takes only 8 photos, I assure you of that :D

I changed because of the circumstances, not because I wanted to change it :) Don't know what to say about it... I like the white version too, but if I were to pick between them... it'd be hard.
[Galaxy S III General] Xplorah:
seen a million camera and pop up play vids. pls do led notification
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Coming right up ;) YouTube's really slow at uploading... I have 6 videos uploading and it's taking... foreeeeever. You can subscribe and you'll get a message as soon as the video's up & running :) According to them, the first one, the one with the accesibility features (motion controls & stuff like that) will be online in ~ 20 minutes... so I'm guessing 40-50 min / video... LED Notification is 3rd... so it should be online in ~ 2 and 1/2 hours or so.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] Xplorah:

Am looking forward to seeing the notification led vid. HTC have really dropped the ball on this over the years. The notification led is becoming less and less visible, and often only stays on for 5 mins. Waste of time.
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:

This one is the one with the accessibility features : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6prVw-nVozY

And this one presents the "custom vibration pattern" mode :) Very interesting stuff, if you ask me. I had lots of fun with it! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zj_2sEI-ho

[Galaxy S III General] :

[Galaxy S III General] LTame:
Very nice videos! Thank you so much. Love to see that LED in action :D

Ah, do you have a blue&white phone right now or just the white one? I want to see how a white back cover looks like on the blue phone and viceversa XD

Also, can you use a landscape picture (like this) on Contact's photo? Can you show us how the contact interface looks like (and if its possible to use non-square photos) :|
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
I only have the white one now, but I tried the stuff with the blue on white and viceversa. It looked bad, from my point of view :D
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:

Does the doule tap on the top to scroll up works on the browser ?
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Here's the multitasking video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5wRaFSDIPo

I'm not sure if I did what I was supposed to... from what I've seen in the One X videos online, what's wrong with it isn't happening on the S3. So no worries there.

Also, another one with interesting stuff I came across the S3 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eCC2sokzlM

And one with the boot time : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJM_PH-AGuM

@hells_dark - nope, unfortunately it won't. Would've been nice, indeed, but it's not working.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Thank you so much for all your videos. The One X has the issue after you open 4 or 6 apps. Does the same happen when you open lets say 6 apps total? Will it continue where it was? Can you let us know? You don't have to make a new video. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Nope, it's good from what i've seen :)

[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
Question: In the browser demo you posted, when you view that wikipedia page, you press a green icon in the address field. That looks to me like a "reader" function that formats the article so it's easier to read it? Is that always present, for example if you go to the desktop version of gsmarena.com and open an article, is the reader option available then?
[Galaxy S III General] lonelyw:
thanks for sharing mate
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
I got a question about the browser too. If you double tap onto a textbox will the browser stick to it? (not talking about textflow) In ICS on the SII the browser seems to be freeflow so while scrolling up and down zoomed onto a textbox it will wobble left and right. It's detecting ever tiny movement to the left and right..

How is this handled on the S3? does it "stick" a bit when you are zoomed into the page or is it just as bad as it is on the S2 with ICS?
[Galaxy S III General] :
All excellent videos..

A big thanks from my part!

You mobilers are doing a wonderful work in sharing the information.

[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
The notification LED looks nice on the white, but I noticed that the light emanates from under the casing - with the blue being darker than the white, is the LED notifications just as good on the Blue S3?

[Galaxy S III General] Deusdies:
Thanks a lot for these reviews and greetings from your neighboring country :D

I have two questions:

1) How advanced is S-Voice? Are you able to say e.g. "Can you play music for me?" or "Play something by <Rammstein>", or do you have to say "Open Music" ?

2) (I'm sorry if I shouldn't ask this) How do people like you get their hands on a pre-released phone?
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Thanks so much for the vids dude, that's awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] Lorimere:
Love all the Videos. Thanks for taking the time to make and share them!!
[Galaxy S III General] w1nter456:

[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Yes.
[Galaxy S III General] Thor:

[Galaxy S III General] BicolXpress:
Since you've played with both colors, which color do you thinks looks best. I'm not sure if I should get the white or the blue.
[Galaxy S III General] Yoma666:
Could you test that in the dark? Does it need light to determine if you're watching the screen?
[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
When you start smart stay for the first time, there's a dialog box that says something like "Smart Stay might not work in the following conditions:" and one of those conditions is "in the dark", I remember seeing this in pics and videos.
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Sorry for the late replies, guys... I was sleeping like there's no tomorrow :) Enjoying a lazy Sunday :D Anyway, here's what I can help you with.

Sure thing, coming up :)

The light has a dedicated spot, but indeed, it "spreads" on the white version. On the blue version, it won't spread, but it looks just as good.

It's available on most of the websites. I think it detects exactly how much text is on the page and, if it's over a certain percentage, it allows you to use the reader mode. I'll attach some screenshots of this later :)

For 1 - my Mob!ler colleague Florian did a video showing this. Yes, it can play Rammstein :D See more details here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662675

2 - We're Samsung Mob!lers. We get them before they're released for reviews, tests & stuff like that :)

Yes it does.

To be honest, I can't make up my mind. I'm a fan of the dark colored mobile phones, but this white one... it doesn't look that bad. Maybe it's because it's so rounded or something.

Yes, it needs light to determine if you're watching the screen :)
[Galaxy S III General] hackeron:
Smart stay just another bloatware to remove since it don't work in reality anyway if it needs light. 70% of my browsing is in a dark environment. Better to just set display to 1 min and manually shut screen down when not used. This is works fine perfectly for me with my sgs1 now.

But anyway nice that they are trying to innovate this feature might really be useful in the future

[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
Everyone doesnt do their 70% browsing in the dark..lol...i think i would love this feature..some people wont..its personal preference...
[Galaxy S III General] aviatorarun:
I agree, I used to browse most of the time during the day, and even if sometimes while typing a long message, and if you pause for some time to think what to type, screen goes off. It is really a good feature from my point of view.
[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
Thank you! This is great news for me!
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
Thanks for all the great videos :-) This phone just gets better and better.

It looks like there is no UI lag at all. Is it always like that?
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
Yes. I did a small stress test, opening as many apps I could and still no lag in the menu or game... runs very smooth :)

Here's a more detailed video for the tilt-to-zoom & reader mode for the stock browser : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7UbXu7E5jc

[Galaxy S III General] LTame:
Your YouTube channel is now on my bookmarks bar. Very nice videos with a lot of interesting features xD

Hm, another request (i'm not sure if you did a video on this already): can you show us more about the device unlock features? Face+Voice/Voice/Pattern/Voice Command(for camera, music). Everything you can show us about the lockscreen :D~

Also, can you do this?

Thank you for sharing so many awesome videos :D
[Galaxy S III General] Isadora:
:D Imagine s-voice having an opinion and telling you "no, I won't play X, Y or Z cos I don't like it"
[Galaxy S III General] AlexDmi:
That would be a great feature :D As long as it would have a good taste in music from the beginning :)

Coming up next : short video with the power on / off time of the S2 compared to the S3 and one with the Note compared to the S3 (with the Note I tested some apps as well to show the speed difference)! Stay tuned ;)

Also, here's the feature to take a photo while recording a video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ1vnLVVDoU

And the so-called stress test : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg3H8iZKpik Not too many apps, but I tried using the ones that would "eat" the most RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] NaabKing:
Too bad you didnt record a little longer and switch between apps you had open, i was really curious if all the apps were still runing or they would load again (= Otherwise nice video, hope to see more

EDIT: Would like to see which languages are availible in the ROM and if Keyboard can be set to "QWERTY" or "QWERTZ" too (=
[Galaxy S III General] aviatorarun:

The stress test video was great. Can you please do the same thing but this time also switch between the apps. e.g. open the browser and go to some big site like cnn.com scroll down, then come back to it after opening few more apps. I know you already did a multitasking video but that didn't put much stress on ram.

Another request - could you do a video with using Apex/Nova launcher and show us memory used?

Thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful.
