[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Afaik, twrp and cwm have the same functions. Using twrp on a fire and a tab 10.1, I can't recall if it had extra features.

Technically speaking however, I think twrp is a better application. It is encoded in native c++, it has a touch interface, is themable, and is faster. A 1gb 15min backup in cwm will probably take 5 minute in twrp but will be bigger, maybe 2gb. It has a device coverage as wide, if not wider, than cwm recovery. However, I think this is the first time it's been ported to a galaxy s class device, hence it's not that popular here.

I haven't used it myself because my ics Nandroid is a cwm backup and I'm deciding still whether to revert back or not. Once I've decided however, I'll make the switch for sure.

Nice. Where did you get the ics phl modem?

I've been searching for a modem repository thread but I can't find any.
[Galaxy S III General] froias76@gmail.com:
No ... it's on idle/ standby and overnight. I use betterbatterystats to monitor even when I was still on ics.

hi guys. from the philippines here too! have you guys tried flashing the 4.2JB camera with photosphere? i think it would be cool to try it out but needs some kind of affirmation. and i am currently running the UK firmware, what's the difference between the Phil firmware if there is any?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
I've tried it, incredible app.

JB phl.
[Galaxy S III General] BelJanss:
Tried it also and it is great. However, when you are using the app, you will notice heat. Maybe because the camera is configured for new cpu.

[Galaxy S III General] baste07:
Tried it as well. But didn't like it over the stock cam
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
do i just flash the cam app for 4.2JB? and it will be installed and the regular cam app would still be there? and how do i uninstall it?
[Galaxy S III General] baste07:
stock cam will still be there. i think you can uninstall via TB. but i didn't try. i reverted to the stock cam, didn't like the new camera.

Hi guys. when i press my back cover, i hear a crack sound. See the picture for to know what part.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
no its not. check the mini locks ur cover has might be craxked or damaged. or u have a bloated batt so back cover is not fitted
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
But wait, why are you pressing on the back cover anyway? Maybe you are pressing too hard. I don't think the pins on his back cover are broken, if they were the cover would lift a bit.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
personally tried the joints and i dont have the cracking sound. my s2 lost one of its pin and yes theres a tiny space u can notice but still doesnt contribute to have a cracking sound
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:
i cracked my back cover, because it is plastic and hard to remove. *SA SOBRANG NIPIS*

where should i get orig back cover white :)
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
You can always order a back cover and even batteries from a Samsung repair center
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:
OK thank dude, it so disappointing, how should i "PROPERLY" remove my back cover errr.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I removed mine on a regular basic because I use two batteries. Odd. I just follow the way it should be removed in the manual. Maybe the cover you have is defective?
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:
Speaking of defective, is the back cover is covered by the warranty? i bought my SGS3 in a local store in SM Fairview. Should i go to Samsung Repair Center? What is the process?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yep! If you still have the receipt and your phone has an NTC sticker or seal in the battery bay you can go to a samsung repair center. Tell them the back is defective and the cover snapped without force. I've reports of that happening and Samsung actually replaced the back cover.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
start at the top in the opening just beside the earphone jack.

once lifted work your way on both sides using ur nails to slide down.

ull hear popping sounds coming from the locks. its fine.

putting it back is the reverse. hook the bottom and lightly press one side then the other side.

Where can I buy a good Matte Screen Protector (anti-glare/anti-fingerprint)? What brand?
[Galaxy S III General] fujimarcus:
Try sgp curved crystal. But i have ishield. :)
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
Greenhills, they are also the one who will put it on. Whatever brand will do. But i suggest you use a clear screen protector. The S3's screen is already dark, using a matte screen protector will make it look even darker and sometimes pixelated. Bought mine for Php180, front and back both covered.
[Galaxy S III General] ronaldjanr13:
didnt have any problem using globe unli plan im using it for almost 5mo now..its case to case basis and depends on the area..flashed many roms..after flashing i didnt have to configure any data settings also flashed modems no problem sometimes got slow connection but not all the time..im kinda satisfied with globe.
[Galaxy S III General] njcasillan:
I am using a matte and I think it's not so dark as described. I like matte better because it's fingerprint-free.

To each his own, I guess. :)
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
One of the best matte protectors is the ultra nano optics by sgp. You should look for its reviews around here at xda.
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
Im using clear ultra nano sp, that came with my neo hybrid case. It's oleophobic and super thin, no elevated side (naka angat) but it is very hard to apply!
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
The clear has its reputation of being very prone to scratches though.

i want the SGP Curve Screen Protector. Is that worth it, ahahah.

Is the nano SP cuts like normal Screen Protector? Not full?

Really? Im afraid that they will "PAHIYA" me, actually i snapped it because i don't opening always my back cover. should i replace LOL :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
I'll see in a few weeks. I'm not a fan of matte sps, it just ruins the device's beautiful display. I've used capdase clear sp before this SGP one, and it doesn't have a scratch on it (used it for 5 months).
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
Well. Yeah. My brother doesn't seem to be bothered by the matte screen protector too. But i am. I don't wanna lose the brilliance of the screen to the matte finish of the screen protector. it just seems to make the screen too grainy for my taste. I'd rather have to wipe prints off every once in a while than not see the full brilliance of the screen. Anyways, I always have glass wiper with me all the time. Kinda OC. :silly:
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Has anyone experienced their phone turn off in idle mode? I've had this happen to me twice already a few weeks apart. The first time I was low batt (around 7%). That time I thought my battery had just run out although I had my doubts coz I had just checked my phone like 5 minutes before it turned off. So I just plugged it in to turn it on. This time though I wasn't low batt (75%). I had to turn it on by doing a battery pull. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Are they connected to each other? I'm on stock JB. Rooted with CF Auto root. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
What your experiencing is called "sleep of death". I assume you still have stock recovery. Install CWM 5 or 6 then after, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Observe, if it still persists, try flashing another kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Thanks! Will do as you suggested!

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

Btw I meant to ask, what is this problem related to? Is it related to the fact that I'm still stock recovery? Or the fact that I need a new kernel?
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
If I'm right, sod is a kernel issue. But you are on stock kernel. A full wipe may fix the issue if you dont want to install a custom kernel and cwm.

Hi!,

Gandang gabi po.

Just wanna ask, is there a way on how to change color of widget like example transparent? Is there an application for this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Depends on the app. Some allow and some don't.
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
go to www.sammobile.com and go to FIRMWARE tab, under that choose FIRMWARE AND FILES, then search for your device.

Just tried LJ1 and it's by far the smoothest for me. The most laggy and ROM hungry was LJ5, followed by LJ4. I don't know what's up with that but that's base from my experience. Even the benchmarks were constantly highest on LJ1 than the other 2 i've tried. Will stick to LJ1 until stock 4.1.2 comes out.

If your phone isn't rooted, i don't know but there might be a custom ROM out there with transparent widgets. But if your phone is rooted, there are a lot of modifications peope have already made, including making widgets transparent, here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1567

Sir I am one of the unhappy users of JB build LJ4 because ever since the update, I have experienced problems regarding battery, charging and lags. I really want the ICS back so I searched for threads regarding that thing. I am an android newbie so bear with me. Its just been 3 weeks since I switched from IOS to android. From what I read, I need to re-flash the firmware using odin. The thing I want to know is, how would I know the stock firmware that I need to download from sammobile? By the way, my s3 came up with ICS build BLG8 so what I literally like is to be back on that state.

Isn't increasing the charging current impractical? Yes it does charge faster but I believe it will deplete faster as well unless plugged in for a longer period after the 100% point for trickle charging.

I am speaking from experience though. Hoping to be enlightened.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
Well, base on my experience it doesn't deplete faster, the discharge rate is the same. About the longer plug period after 100%, it does charge to 100% but doesn't change the LED to green. All I do is wait for the LED to flash green before unplugging it.

[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
it will not deplete faster, but increasing the current from factory settings will increase battery wear.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Wait, you lost me there. Do you want hardware keys or software keys?
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
Is this true? AFAIK and from reading the Siyah kernel thread, people are saying that increasing the current to charge the battery faster won't damage or wear the battery. It's the heat that damages it, not the current you put to it. Im confused now. :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Adjusting default values is always a risk. Samsung set values by default for good reason.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
yes it will lead to faster battery wear. but then again the battery naturally wears out on its own. what the people in the siyah kernel are saying is that the added wear from increasing the charge is in general negligible. in my experience, if you are going to be using your phone for less than two years that will hold true, if you plan to keep it longer, that added battery wear might prove significant.

I've been changing roms and modems many times, and this doesn't lead to out of service issues, especially if you chose the new omega rom. I am not a sun subscriber however.

Guys can you teach me how to update via OTA coz when i press the update software it says (cannot update you are using a modified version) somthing like that, and nagbasa ako sa xda its becoz of im using a different CWM recovery.

Questions:

1. How can i use the stock recovery?

2. If i use the stock will i lose my superuser?

3. What if i use stock recovery but i didnt update will i lose my superuser?

4. If i update via OTA using stock recovery will i lose superuser? If yes, will app (voodoo OTA rootkeeper) prevent it from losing my superuser?

5. How will i know what recovery im using right now.

Im new to rooting and i dont want to use custom anything until im not fully familiar with the stocks. To avoid bricking my own phone and to get more knowledge before i move to the next level.

Or just do it yourself. There is a list of apks safe to remove in the themes and apps section. But if I were you, don't uninstall, just freeze, just in case you decide to use them again.

With regards to tbp, don't backup system files. The general practice is to backup app plus data. This will allow you to fast restore when you upgrade or change your roms.
