[Galaxy S III General] boodies:
verge hates samsung, thats why I took em off my favorites and never looked back. engadget while an isheep site, does give an objective review.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Funny, since Verge gave the GS3 a much better review than Engadget.
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
Hmm?

"The worst thing about the GS III? No matter how hard it tries, it just isn't greater than the sum of the HTC One X's parts. That's not to say it falls short, but merely to emphasize that times have changed since last year's Galaxy S II, which landed on an unsuspecting world that was largely devoid of predators."

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review/

I'm just playing around with you. ;) You really have to look across multiple reviews and draw your own conclusions. There can also be differences between the h/w and firmware on pre-production devices that make them perform differently from each other and possibly production units. The camera's usually a hot button on any new phone so I'm sure both the positives and negatives will be all over the front page a week or two after it's in people's hands.

yeah, after they had an article titled Why Samsung broke my heart, on their homepage for the longest time, I couldn't handle it anymore lol. off my faves. don't know why they didn't have one called how One X broke my phone lol
[Galaxy S III General] v1rtu4l:
the techradar actually says that you can touch to focus while recording video, which does disable autofocus. this is the most sensible thing to do if you have trouble shooting a video.

problem solved
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
The One X forum is full of whiners, complainers, and nit pickers that no device ever released could ever please. I hope for your sake that they all don't decide to get SGS3's and come over here. ;)

This is a typical example of the deep discussion that takes place to get the most out of the phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RG129:
Power+Home = HTC developed screenshot

This places the photo in the camera shots folder

Power+Volume Down = ICS developed screenshot

This places the photo in a separate "screenshots" folder (I prefer this method)

But both methods stick the photos in the internal memory and not the ext_sd/sdcard2 folders! :mad:

I have a stuck pixel after upgrading to ics. Anybody experienced the same problem? I tried woping my device but the stuck pixel remain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
do you mean a dead pixel? i.e what ever you show on the screen there is a pixel that is just black?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jester27:
I too had this when I tried the German release of ics

It was on the upper left hand side of the screen prov 1/4 way down and 1 cm from left edge

just one red glowing pixel

And that was with screen off

Only noticeable in a darkened room tho

I have gone back to gingerbread since and all is fine again now

Don't know what was causing it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
Often the stuck pixel is due to a defective of the screen or a physical damage (when you drop the phone for example). If this is the case, it can not be reverse back with software.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuanneo:
I understand what you mean. But it not really a stuck pixel per say. The stuck pixel will 'disappear' after u off the screen for a while.

I think it might be some software issue, will try to load GB back into my note and update you guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash91:
I've the exact same thing that you described, just that the pixel is in the top right hand corner. Seems like a software thing though 'cause on the red test screen it shows up as black, and it appears cyan on a white background.

Anyone found a fix, or the reason for this yet? :confused::confused:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WildBillMN:
So here is my story; i was planning on selling my prime today. I plan to meet the buyer in an hour. I round up all the accessories and everything. My last step was to completely wipe the device. I wipe everything from cwm touch version. I go to reboot and all it did was reboot into cwm. I have searched up and down to find out how i can get adb to recognize my prime but nothing works at all.

I have the correct drivers installed using universal naked drivers. My computer (windows 7) sees that i have android adb interface. When i go into my cmd prompt and type "adb devices" nothing at all is recognized. When i type "adb shell" it says "error: device not found".

I have tried absolutely everything to get the adb working but it cant seem to see my prime.

If anyone at all can help that would be great. I've heard that manually installing the SDK works but i'm so new to this stuff and would appreciate if anyone could send me a link.

Thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I had the same issue, the universal naked drivers adb didn't work for me, I found an ADB.ZIP earlier in the thread and then it was all smooth sailing. Should fix it for you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WildBillMN:
was it adb.rar? because i tried that one too and it did not work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] WildBillMN:
I managed to use the vipermod tool to get my pc to recognize the prime by adb. then i went into a different cmd window and followed the instructions in the OP. everything works like a dream now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyhall1bmx1:
i appologise for such a noob question here so here goes :cool:

right so flashed the latest resurection 1.9.1 rom i think it is, rom seems pritty darn good so far but as the flashing procedure goes with the factory reset etc i have lost everything ;)

its all backed up on kies so what my question is, with this custom rom flashed can i still sync with kies ? also if i can do is there anyway by syncing with kies with a custom rom that samsung or o2(my provider) or whoever can find out that i have a custom rom and void my warrenty / insurance ?

its probably the worst question asked so i do appologise again but in my mind its better to be safe than sorry :) thanks again guys :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxa5209:
i dont believe any AOSP/AOKP ROMs supports Kies. Therefore, you cant use Kies with ICS Resurrection since it is AKOP based rom. You may want to look for a TouchWiz based custom rom if you want Kies support.

Good Luck

Would i be in the wrong if i just wanted root to remove bloat and overclock the existing rom?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bkir72:
I rooted my stock .902 rom and deleted bloatware without a single issue. I also installed safestrap so I have custom recovery just in case I want to use a custom rom later on. I haven't overclocked, hopefully someone who has can chime in on that aspect.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ncobs:
I am indeed rooted and overclocked on stock rom. I have tried a couple other roms but they use the same old launchers I had available to me on the thunderbolt. I kinda like the stock rom on this. seems plenty fast to me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kiboe:
how did you overclock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] priddyma:
Look in the bionic development forum for tekahunas overclock modules
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kiboe:
So...flash scripts by the cwm recovery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ncobs:
The route the worked for me was the How to overclock video tutorial thread, it's on the front Page here in the development section.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xpsychox:
The only way I've found to root stock rom is motofail only thing out that I no of that works with. 902..however.. I am NOT on stock rom.. running th3orys .902 comparable rom.. with a installbover that..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
You can download Motofail from the link in my sig below :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kiboe:
i kind of like motoblur that's why i am choosing to stay with stock, much better over sense....and vanila isn't my thing, plus i am loving the camera. the hd looks comparible to my $60 flip and looks way better than a gopro.

of course, gopro's are designed to be mounted for sports or film angles, not really for personal home movies. (the mic sucks on them)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
I liked MOTOBLUR also and was not interested in vanilla until the ICS roms came out. Now I much prefer 3x battery life over having MOTOBLUR :) To each their own though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Kiboe:
does that isc rom have te 720p cam? i might just back this rom up for my library and throw that one on
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
No video recording in ICS right now. Camera (back and front) works for stills, but no camcorder function. I never use it though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MARKREIF:
I'm running stock - rooted with Launcher Pro as my launcher of choice and loving the stability and consistency of the device. I've tried various versions of Eclipse and a couple of ICS CM9 ROM's but have found my current setup to be the best of all. Waiting patiently now for the OTA ICS flash.....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brons2:
I'd like to do the same to my girlfriend's Bionic, root and clean up the bloat. I have done so already on my RAZR.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with stock if it works for you. If you want all the speed tweeks of a good custom rom, then get this app! It has so many init.d tweeks and really works good. Just found it a few days ago.

My observations after upgraded to ICS

*8mb ram increased now it show 808mb*

*we cant adjust the brightness by sliding notification bar*

Nothing more.. If u observed any please share

Good news Friends..

After ICS update by OTA i have done factory reset/data wipe and catch wipe twice. Once by setting menu with erase everything option and second by recovery option (vol up+home+power)...

Every thing is fine. My note running better than GB now. Very smooth.

It seems DDLP8 is eMMC bug Free?

Hello Android Gurus! I have a Galaxy S Fascinate SCH-1500 that WAS on their Verizon network. I haven't used it in maybe 6 months and i am IN CANADA!:confused: I want to wipe it and reinstall from fresh state. But here is the kicker. Last time i did this in CANADA i had to wait until i got to the USA to get within their towers so it would update and install.:mad: There was also no way to call a number and have it install that way.

I want to use it as a basic MP3 player/digital alarm clock/screw around with and mess up toy. I now have a galaxy NOTE and i LOVE this thing!:D:cool:

If i flash it will it install the new ROM or will i need to connect to the network again. And if i do have to flash does anyone have a site suggestion to get a ROM? Don't forget, it is NOT CONNECTED to Verizon anymore. Suggestion? Advice?

Thanks!!

[HTC Amaze 4G] Hawkee:
I'm debating buying the Amaze for $300. This is a decent price, but nothing stellar. I'd rather spend less on a Sensation, but I'm having a hard time finding one at the moment. Should I jump at this deal or give it a few days waiting for a cheaper Sensation to come around? I do like the camera on the Amaze and the HSPA+ is a plus, but if I can get a Sensation for $150+ less I'd prefer to save the money.

Thoughts?

my gf has the sensation and it is a pretty good phone i think it has a dual 1.2ghz processor and the amaze had a 1'5 ghz processor so its a little faster and might be worth the money.. I own the amaze and just rooted, s-off, and flashed a new ICS rom and I love it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
The sensation has the same exact CPU, its just underclocked by default. Or, ours is overclocked by default...

Hi all:

Just got a galaxy tab 2. I also have a galaxy s2 phone.

I was wondering, is there a more practical way to auto email?

What I mean is, currently I am using the email apps that came on the tab and phone, as well as webmail at work. Out is a godaddy email addess. Right now if I send an email, it it's not stored in any Central location, so if I send an email from my phone, and I an using my tablet, and want to reference the email I sent from my phone I have no way to do it. Same thing applies for ones I write on webmail, our on my tablet. I can only see them on the actual place they were sent from.

This is getting very confusing. Is there another way?

I know I could use webmail on all devices, but it doesn't work very well on the phone, or tablet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

there is a weird (faint) red light when I'm in a call, anyone know what this is??

(when I take a picture of it using my sensation camera it looks very bright but in real life it is faint like you wouldnt notice it until you look closer)

its there whether screen is on or off, and and if i put my hand over it it just stays lit

is it infrared or something to detect when my ear is near the screen??
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
My understanding is that is the sensor that tell the phone if your head is next to it or not.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
As above, its the proximity sensor for turning the screen off when your face is near the phone.

There are loads of threads on Crackberry about it as their sensor flashes quite noticeably.
