[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] acPIZZA:
Mine has been in its birthday suit since its initial unboxing. It definitely is a nice looking phone. Although the materials are primarily plastic, it still feels premium. No creaking on this guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Sexy profile is why I'm also keeping mine nude but the phone is way too big to avoid some kind of bumping especially when I'm in my car.

I dropped my note couple of times already but I've been very lucky so far...

It really hurts my feeling when what I mentioned above happens... It worries me every time.

I've grown very attached to this phone. I think im at least getting a bumper case. The phone won't look so sexy with a cracked screen or bruised corners.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
I know it aint cheap but for about $50, the otterbox defender case is the best *insurance* and piece of mind, money can buy imo.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
this is why i use a slim SLIM case on my note, doesnt really add anything or take anything away from it and all ports are super accessible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drknb:
Looking for a great slim case

I know the Otter Box Defender offers ultimate protection on the go but it's also hideously ugly and makes the device untenable for pocket use. I have no intentions of carrying it on my hip so I need something slim that offers some protection without detracting significantly from the beauty of the device. Has anyone tried different cases and found one that they love that sort of fit the aforementioned criteria?

BTW, currently I have a black Trident case on it which adds some bulk and size. It's still pocketable but it covers up the entire phone with a raised border around the screen for some protection. All that black is covering up my beautiful white though (except for the face). I'll be taking it back but I don't want to go unprotected. Ummmm...well, you know what I mean. ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyFan88:
hey guys im trying to change the status bar color of the following theme, because with its non-black color it already caused a screen burn-in at the top side of my screen, so I would like to change it to black if possible.

its the lightning black theme from checkrom v6:

http://www.2shared.com/file/HJQacRsW/Lightening_Black_2.html?

I already searched but didn't find any solutions, however I do know that I have to change something in the framework-res.apk or SystemUi.apk.

I'd appreciate If someone could point me in the right direction or change the above theme's status bar to black.

thank you :)

Hello, I cannot answer your question as im not a themer but screen shots may help with helping explain what you would like to achieve.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Try Rom Toolbox lite from Google Play. Its worth paying for the full version though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyFan88:
Is it possible to change the top bar to black with Rom Toolbox as described in my first post?

Though I would like to keep the icons and the design of the notification window.

How is this request "urgent"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxyFan88:
Never mind, I regarded it as urgent because I have screen burn-in and I think this is a serious issue, at least for me.

So, if you have nothing to contribute to answer my question then please leave the thread.

Your post is nothing but nitpicking.

I thought your post had a negative tone to it. I apologise if that is not the case; of course you're welcome here then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Well with Rom Toolbox you can alter your themes and there is also an icon changer, a few of which are quite dark. Its free from Play, so you could at least give it a go.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aioan:
I tried on CM7.2 but I see no difference.

The screen does not adapt to the environment light, even blocking the sensor with my finger does nothing.

any ideas?

thanks in advance,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] duxxyuk:
Out of the box - SE did not enable the Ambient Light Sensor... In order to get this working one needs to modify the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file.

FXP appear to have missed this going even as far as closing an open 'issue' (issue N° 254 here) that is complete with a full description on the fix without actually fixing the problem... O_o

igorkode's .zip allows you to easily fix this using CWM however I feel this is a little drastic... Don't get me wrong- it works but it overwrites the hw-config.sh and als_curve.conf files without regard for what was there before.

I suggest that you look through the optimisation guide here as this explains in more detail the modifications necessary.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfr867:
One of the Dev's on here pointed me in this direction. Been testing program after program and all seem to use the mic to record the other side of the call. In other words, I have to use the speakerphone for it to work. Does anyone have a solution that will work on EVO 4G?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
I was recently using a Collective Rom that had a built in call recorder app. I didn't need to use the speakerphone, and it recorded very well. I'm using a MT4G though...

I believe it was called Collective Absolution. It was ported onto my phone though so look around, maybe they have it for yours. Check and see the Collective roms for your phone. I remember I installed it through the Collective phone settings(their version of the CM9 settings).

Hope I helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfr867:
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I've read a few downer threads that talk about HTC phones having problems with this type of application. I don't know if it's still the same now but several threads indicated that HTC doesn't allow their API CPU talk to the Modem CPU (I think that's how it was put...I may be wrong). Anyway...I don't know. I've also seen some people report that the capability was built into some ROM's out there. If what I read was correct, I don't think any particular ROM will be able to solve the issue because of the type of phone I have. Tell me if I'm wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Hmm I'm not sure. From my experience the main problem, at least on my phone, was always that the recording didn't always record both sides. Some people's phones recorded everything perfectly as they spoke, but some others had a problem where it would only record one side of the conversation, either them speaking or the other person but not both. I don't remember any of the technical problems about why that was the case though, this was a few months back.

I'll see if I can extract the apk that rom installed for me and post it here for you. I'm not sure if it's going to install and work immediately on your phone or if you'll have to do something with it to get it working, but it's worth a shot.

Update: Here's the link to the apk.

http://www.4shared.com/android/K4jPX-5w/CallRecorder_1027_alpha__build.html

Give it a shot and let me know if it worked. You'll need root btw, I've just been assuming you were rooted since you're in this forum.

Sent from Alan's MT4G- Don't Forget to Thank if You Are Helped
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfr867:
Yep...I have root. I downloaded the APK and installed it. I will test it today to see how it works and report back. Thanks for the time in helping me out. It means a great deal!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfr867:
Nope. Didn't pick up the other side if the conversation. I could only hear myself talking. Very frustrating. You would think this wouldn't be a big deal to do. Any other suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Sorry dude, I'm all out of ideas. As far as I can tell some phones seem to be able to do it and others can't. If anything you can always take that apk I gave you and post it in your phone's forum and see if it works for anyone else there. Maybe someone there can find some way to make it work for you.

Hope it works out for you.

[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Thanks, good collection to read reviews and get excited while waiting :)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Man, this is awesome!

"FM Radio

The Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III is equipped with an FM radio with RDS too. The interface is simple - there's a tuning dial and you can save as many as 8 stations as favorites. You can also listen on the loudspeaker, but the headset is still needed as it acts as the antenna. You can record radio broadcasts as well."
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
all galaxy s series had this feature :)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I didn't know you could record though. Sadly my captivate doesn't... for some reason US variants got gimped when it came to the FM radio.
[Galaxy S III General] pizz0wn3d:
Not true. My Cappy doesn't have the hardware for it, so no go. Not that I'd ever use the feature.

Herp derp Captivate XDA Premium App.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Really? You never thought about recording a song you like?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
oh , my bad, i didnt thought of that .
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Jut finished reading the gsmarena review. I hope -

1. S4 version is still as fast (which I think it will be based on benchmarks)

2. US carriers don't remove the awesome features - this one I'm worried about.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Knowing the US carriers, specially ATT, they will probably remove something. Like the FM Radio will be disabled. They have to do something to make the phone stay around the same price range with the LTE radio in there. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe the Exynos cost just as much as an S4 with LTE but probably not since Samsung manufactures their own SoC.

I only had a SGS2 Skyrocket for a few days. Anyone know if that was gimped in anyway?
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Disabling features costs more than leaving them enabled. Most of the time they disable it so they can push their own bloatware instead.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Depends how the feature is disabled. Like taking out a fm radio all together to cut cost etc.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Usually its all disabled in software. There are probably only 2 reference designs for the GS3 - S4 for LTE markets and Exonys for everyone else.

The chipsets used in these are fixed, and any changes are done at the firmware level. e.g. to disable FM/NFC etc, they don't modify the circuit design as that would cost a lot more and require separate assembly/QA.
[Galaxy S III General] zyryn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbfmkATGyrQ

please add this , swedroid vid showing ui fluidity :p
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I don't believe so, it's not that difficult. Over here when we design circuit cards etc, they are designed to leave certain features out for the military displays, etc. It's as simple as just excluding things in the BOM and making variant drawing. Doesn't cost us anymore then it does save the customer money.

I don't know exactly how Samsung is, I just know how the places I have worked at are. So I'm not going to say for certain how Qualcom and Samsung documented and prepared their SoCs.

Added, thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] shahud:

[Galaxy S III General] omersak:
worth a look but: "htc one x appeals more to hackers, rooters and modders" - erm, locked boot-loader/S-ON much?
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
He probably means that if you know how to tweak it properly, it won't run like crap compared to the GS3 so hackers might go for the better build and supposedly better screen.

Which is kind of true. Most hardcore android users don't really notice how much smoother IOS and Samsung phones are compared to the competition but it is definitely there.
[Galaxy S III General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:

I'm starting to think my s3 is a massive piece of crap. It is really buggy. Also, s voice.. Wow, it is probably the most underwhelming and frustrating feature of any phone ever. It is Samsungs paper clip.
[Galaxy S III General] gavinfabl:
Fair enough.

Not feeling that way about my S3. S Voice after nearly 2 weeks is becoming very accurate. It takes time to learn. Siri is better in some ways but not in others. Both aren't perfect.

Today was the first day S Voice got everything right from turning bluetooth on and off , appointments set and texts sent. Calling and navigating too .
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
lol....if you are buying the S3 for S-voice, then you are buying it for the wrong reason ;)
[Galaxy S III General] niko123456:
Huh? And what is the correct reason? Personally I like to drive and use my phone.. I'm not alone.

There are plenty of other bugs. The general performance is terrible. The lag.. The home reload.. The buggy music player.. The browser not loading mobile pages.. The broken kies and sync. They might fix these eventually, which will be amazing because it has the best specs. Just terrible software.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Also can someone explain the listening feature to reviewers? Or is it me that doesn't get it? You can't just say 'hi galaxy', you have to touch your phone first.. Might as well press home twice. The whole listening thing is pointless.

While I like the HDMI feature on the SIII, it seems such a hassle to set up and get working. One great thing about my older Droid X2 is all it needs to display HDMI out is a HDMI-Mini to HDMI cable. No costly adapters and no wall power in. Its a shame something like that couldn't be implemented on the SIII also.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
There's no difference in how any modern OS manages memory. Low free memory means apps will be killed, and this is obvious when you see sense and TW reload often when you go home.

Bottom line - more memory is always a good thing.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Oh please... you didn't even read his post. He doesn't have a problem as everything is working "fine,", his only problem is that he wants "more ram free" to be reported to him. It's pretty obvious that even without anything open, Samsung set the minfree to have only 140mb or so memory free and the rest must cache apps. My link was to explain to him what a minfree is and why he sees the ram the way it is. He thinks because there's only a certain amount of ram free that it's considered slow.

I never denied the latter, but he is wondering why he doesn't have as much free memory, that is because of the system app cache that has around 20 apps preloaded.

Also, what I bolded from your comment is completely false. Prove to me that iPhone, Android, Windows 7 are no because I'll tell you, my Windows 7 computer will just load stuff up till it says it can't anymore, and the computer will be very slow and never close any apps.
