perks of jellybean

Any perks about jellybean from ics? I actually flashed CM10 for like 2hours before realising that I cannot stand its incompleteness. So unless jellybean has some perks that ICS doesn't have, I don't think I'll ever move over to jelly haha.

hi guys, which modem do you think works best for us in singapore? have you guys noticed any improvements with lh1?
[Galaxy S III General] lukesky:
honestly modem flashing to see changes in signals are a lot to do with placebo effect unless proper testing is done . just going by the number of bars is so misleading because 4 bars on 1 modem could be exactly the same signal level as 3 bars on another unless u dive deeper and look at the actual db figures..

so i'd say just read the reviews in the modem thread or just go with the latest if u are the type who likes to try out the latest roms because i've tried many modems and I don't see any obvious difference in any of them

Hi,

After updating to DXLH1 from XXLG1, I'm experiencing a painful battery drain overnight during sleep mode. My phone remained active when it's locked and I'm unable to find the culprit from both betterbatterystat and gsam battery.

Around 20% drop in 8 hours.

Anyone? Help?

contacts on CM9

Hello, I would like to ask anyone of you have problems with contacts? I am a bit confused with the contacts. Basically I screwed up when I tried to sync my gmail account with my contacts and many duplicates occurred, so I end up deleting everything. Simply hate syncing.

How do I actually store my contacts in the phone memory instead of any google accounts?
[Galaxy S III General] xuberone:
Hi any one has experiencing the phone charging for a while then it doesn't charge. Mine is rooted with some apps frozen. Have another in exactly the same config charging normal.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Try another usb cable?

Have you face such problem before you root the phone? Or did it occur only after you rooted it?
[Galaxy S III General] xuberone:
tried another cable and charger, same issues ...
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
How about before your root? Do you encounter this problem before you root?

If problem occurs only after you root, I think something might have gone wrong during the root. So restore your stock rom and root again.

If problem is already there before you root, then I suggest you restore stock rom, reset the flash counter using triangle away, and bring it back to whichever shop you got your phone from. Normally there should be a 1-to1 exchange if it is within 7 days of purchase, at least that is the case for Singtel.
[Galaxy S III General] w1n4rt0:
Have been using it for couple of days.. So far so good with few exceptions

S Note is buggy is keep crashing when any new widget is installed on the home screen. To fix this, use Titanium Backup to uninstall it (back it up first if you want

Map working find, but the blue dot some times disappearing, leaving just with the round outside the invisible blue dot

Everything else is working fine except with few app which does not support JB just yet.

On the side note, it's not as smooth as pure JB stock on SGS3. It tried SuperNexus 2 and it's much smoother.
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
Go under contacts then press menu button. there should be an option for you to export to memory card. i always use that instead of google accounts, google accounts ALWAYS results in many duplicated contacts!
[Galaxy S III General] xperiax10.awesome:
I just purchased SGS3 today and its performance is really awesome !!!
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
now go root it and install custom roms/kernels, see which ones you prefer and you will find the experience even better :D

highly recommend siyahkernel, really makes the sound output from the phone very good!
[Galaxy S III General] xperiax10.awesome:
I usually prefer NOT TO ROOT my device for 1st week...want to see what are the things I really need/achive by rooting.. :)

As of now only the UI doesnt looks good (coming from Xperia)

Anyways, wat abt Wireless charging???
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
wireless charging you need the specific charging pad/kit for it to work. reviews all state that charging is generally slower on it, and with a charging pad needed i rather just plug in a cable to charge!

just curious, what colour did you get your s3 in?
[Galaxy S III General] xperiax10.awesome:
I got pebble blue with a bluish back cover case, ordered 2 metal brushed aluminium back cases from eBay..

I just read that some 3rd party is releasing dock/kit for wireless charging, expected price around 80 dollars, will avoid with such hefty price !!

from xperia PLAY
[Galaxy S III General] radonsg:
I use google contact all the time since long time back from the nokia days.

It is a tedious task during the 1st time. After the 1st sync, I need to manually edit/correct the contact 1 by 1 to suit to to how I want it.

After which it is working painless for me every since, no matter how many phones I have changed, rom I have flashed.

No problem wat so ever.

For contact list, I will choose to show only contacts with phone no & from google.com only. Works for me every time.

[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
I have no idea about wireless charging, but yes, wait a week because that is the period when you can get a 1-to-1 exchange should there be any problem with your phone. Touchwiz UI looks pretty good in my opinion. However I am an original freak so I still prefer the original google android UI. If you tried Galaxy Nexus before, you'll know what I mean by that.
[Galaxy S III General] skem:
hey there fellow singaporeans! :)

Just a heads up, the galaxy s3 collects dust easily throughout the bezel and the screen, there's a tiny little gap. My S3 is 1 month+ old and I can see a layer of dust formed around the bezel. :(
[Galaxy S III General] SexyIceCream:
nothing on mine...perhaps because i'm using a flip case:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Hey does your flip case comes with a magnetic clip? I got a free flip case from singtel, but bought another mercury flipcase with magnetic clip from gmarket. I do realise that when i turned the cover behind, I have some weird bell-like sounds coming from my S3's speaker. Any idea if flip case with magnetic clip will cause any damage to the phone?
[Galaxy S III General] simplon:
Yeah there is a layer of dust on mine.. Can't really see it unless u look carefully..

Organising photos using File Explorer on the phone itself

Not sure if anyone of you faces this problem. I saved the attachment from MMS sent, and it is automatically saved in Download folder in Internal Storage, and I am able to view the photo in Gallery under the album Download. However after I moved the file from the download folder to my SD card, I am not able to view the file from Gallery anymore unless I go through my File Explorer again to the folder. Likewise when I did a check connecting my phone to my PC, I cannot find the photo in the folder which I moved it to. I can see the photo in the folder from my File Explorer on my phone, but not able to see it in the same folder on my PC. I have tried both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer, both giving me the same problem and a reboot is required to solve it.

Resurrection Remix V3.0.6.1

Hey any of you guys tried the Resurrection Remix V3.0.6? Any comments?
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Hello guys. Any idea when the JB will be out. Anyway i really dislike the stock rom i thought of changing to OMEGA rom. Hmm any idea guys??:) thanks so much!
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Omega rom layout is exactly like samsung rom, just that you can choose to install/not install the bloatwares. If you want something different, like pure google android experience, go for CM9.1 stable release.
[Galaxy S III General] nirenj:
Omega ROM is the best custom ROM out there, and the developer(s) behind it is awesome. Just watch their thread and see how often they update the ROM and how members are helping each other. I am a happy Omega user since day one of my SGS3. No complains to far.

Try it to believe it.
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Thanks bro:) hmm what are bloatwares??

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Hmm btw i prefer to mod themes.. so does CM9 has good themes?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Wow great to hear that!:) hmm should i wait till samsung rolls out offical JB then i try it?:) what yo suggest?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Bloatwares are those unnecessary apps that are present in the original samsung rom. S voice is an example.

CM9 is like default google android. If you want to have a feel of CM9, drop by any mobile phone shops and try Galaxy Nexus. The UI feels exactly the same. Themes wise I am not sure as I always prefer default, although I just started using Nova Launcher Prime now.

I tried Resurrection Remix v3.0.6 yesterday, looks good, but I restored back to CM9.1 stable as I prefer waiting for a stable release of CM10 before trying out other jellybean roms.
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Ohhh ok! Think i will wait for jellybean first before changing my ROM. Thanks for the detailed info. Anyway which firmware are u in? XXBLG1?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Nope. There was an update a few weeks back. I9300XXBLH1
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Sigh. I still dont really get it:( is the CM9 and omega international ROM for all users??
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
There are many variants for CM9, here is the link:

http://get.cm/?device=i9300

As for omega, you got to read properly, make sure it is for I9300 and not other models.

[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Sorry to trouble you.. but thanks alot:) btw what is 'nightly' type??
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Ohhh meaning it's something like Omega rom. By the way, I would have chosen to stick with Omega rom if it allows customization of the notification drawer widgets.
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Omgosh so tempted to change to change it now!!! I love to mod themes!! And btw after my exam (Os lvl) i want to be a developer (simple) here. Haha.. ohyes there is still an omega apk from Play store which i can dl anything i like anytime, anywhere. But the thought of losing all my data is really heart-breaking.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Thanks bro!:)
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Do you think it's possible to install the omega files if I am not using Omega rom?

And also, do you guys have any Locator apps to introduce? In case of losing phone haha.
[Galaxy S III General] boesky:
I'm on Omega 13.1 with BWLH1 modem and Siyah 1.5.2 for the kernel. Oh yes, almost all bloatware has been removed, including most pre-loaded Samsung stuff... And it does allow changing the drawer options under "QuickPanel Settings"

Stable ICS - Excellent battery life for me. Having owned a number of Android devices, I would definitely pick stability over the latest features.

And yes, my phone stays cool all day. No heating up that my hand can feel whatsoever!
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Truly agreed. Even with all the hype surrounding jelly bean, and personally I have tried it but I am pretty anal about bugs. Even the CM9.1 rom that I am using is a stable release.

By the way, any locator apps to introduce?
[Galaxy S III General] boesky:
Well personally using Lost Phone. But really unless the thief is really computer illiterate, he would Google your phone and learn how to erase your phone before he even attempts using his SIM in it.

Even WaveSecure can be erased by formatting your system partition. Unless there's an application that embeds itself in some ultra secure fashion and even locks your recovery down, any efforts to recover your phone would be futile, especially seeing as its a S3 and not a Nokia E63. Hehe

Your best bet - as of now - would be a combination of "WaveSecure" and "GotYa face trap"

Simpler to not lose your phone at all!

Best of luck!
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
I totally agree with what you are saying. I was feeling very safe when I was using Nokia E6.

Anyway Samsung has a Samsungdive tracking system in its stock rom..

[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
It was mentioned to be available at end of September.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

You can try looking for it on M1's website, otherwise, in worst case scenario is to restore your phone to stock, and then take note of the APN settings. I wasn't able to send/receive mms initially when I just flashed CM9 until I realised there are additional stuffs in the APN.
[Galaxy S III General] cryogenist:
1. Steps to setting M1 APN for 3G connection

Go to Settings > Wireless Control/& Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

Hit Menu button, create new APN.

Enter new APN settings.

name: M1 Internet

APN: sunsurf

username: 65

password: user123

APN type: default

Hit Menu button, save settings.

Select the new APN name, then hit the home button. Your 3G connection will shortly appear in the top bar
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
To add on, delete all other APNs after you added the new setting.

This is the link on M1's website to get your settings

samsung's jb leaks or not?

[Galaxy S III General] Frostyeo:
Hey guys, I'm getting worried about my battery, not sure if I have a faulty one, but what are you guys getting in terms of screen on time on each full charge? For me on data and Wi-Fi auto sync, in one day at the most only 4 hours, but I see others getting like 6 hours. Is it because Singapore reception and radios are not so good? What radios you guys use? :(
[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
I a also from Singapore here.

I have not even reached 4 hours of screen on time. My max screen non time was 2.5 hours is what I remember. And no I do not play games or even have installed one in Sgs 3. I only use it for browsing in chrome and playing videos apart from it being connected to the car Bluetooth speakers.

Ur assumption is correct, it's all about the telcos here and the radio frequency.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostyeo:
Ahh~~~ thank you so much, to help me clarify my worries T.T. So fortunately it's not a battery problem but unfortunately we can't get that kind of superb battery life :P

Now I can finally use my phone without worrying
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
From what I know, screen on time is dependent on how heavy you use your phone or should I say, how often is your phone in deep sleep without unnecessary interruptions such as checking time/battery.

For me, my screen on time is normally 1day 8hours++ and I only use my phone heavily when I am out. Normally, even iPhone 4S requires daily charging for heavy users.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostyeo:
You get 8 hours screen on?o.o
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Oh no, sorry that was a typo. My screen on time is usually 1-2hours++. And usually my battery last 1 day 8 hours++ before needing a charge unless I am out.
