Enter in recovery and do all wipes

If i helped u press thanks

Hi beautiful people -

I posted this question in the Q&A section as well. Unsure which was the most appropriate place to ask. So if anyone can help, please post answers in the below thread.

[HTC One X] therealbroxy:
Hi,

I have a chance to swap my sensation for my wife's one X which will be arriving in the next few days. It will be a UK Vodafone branded One X.

I do not want all the carrier rubbish, I know I could flash ARHD (which I currently use on my sensation and love) but due to some ridiculous rules coming into force at work we will only be allowed to use unrooted phones on official roms.

Is there anyway I can flash the HTC rom "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe" so I do not have all the vodafone rescue apps and rubbish like that.

Thanks Andi
[HTC One X] bobsie41:
Unfortunately not. Without root, you are stuck with the official vodafone rom and rely on vodafone for updates. Until s-off (if this ever happens) super cid will not be possible so permanant debranding is also a no go. :(
[HTC One X] therealbroxy:
Thanks for the reply, I guess it is worth flashing arhd then and will worry about the rules when I am caught up with :o)

In my eyes mikes rom's are more secure as they have less rubbish (i will practice saying that)

Thanks

Hi,

its my first post on this site.

I changed the rom from stock 2.3.6 to FOXHOUND Sniper Wolf, and i have one problem with this custom, my lock wallpaper disappears after reset the phone.

is there a any solution to keep her alive all the time ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubbabubba:
Probably is a bug of the custom rom! Try asking in the related thread

i mean reboot. i can see wallpaper since i type PIN code, but then after lock and unlock i have only black screen without wallpaper

Is there anyway to remove the "Tampered" sign in flashboot?

I followed this guide after s-offing:

http://forum.xda-developers.co/showthread.php?p=25167284#post25167284

But it's still there after I rebooted into fastboot.

EDIT: After a little bit of thinking I realized the reason why it says Tampered is because I'm on the ICS leak. Is there a stock RUU I can install that will get rid of the Tampered?
[HTC Rezound] rickyray9:
2.01.605.11 stock RUU will get you back to stock locked bootloader GB with S-OFF

http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
If I remember correctly that's a thing with ICS it happened on the .22 leak but I'm on the newest leak and on amon ra 3.15 and mine doesn't say tampered anymore. If you want to be on ICS try flashing the newest one.

Sent from my ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Ah, got a URL typo, you have .co instead of .com ;)

Assuming your ultimate goal is total stock appearance for warranty, not just eliminating Tampered flag? No real reason to hassle with S-on or care about the flag otherwise.

Use the latest "officially" released build in the guide, which is indeed the 2.01.605.11 GB OTA. Going to PM Scotty to clarify that, stress it must be an "official" RUU in the wording of that step.

You need to do the S-off procedure again, then redo S-on guide with the proper RUU. Then you're good :)
[HTC Rezound] douger1957:
FWIW, I flashed the latest leaked ICS RUU after S-off and the "tampered" flag is no longer on.
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Ah, retracted my statement on ICS hboots and edited last post... Y'all are right, 2.25 stock hboot doesn't have the flag :o

Still hardly any good reason to S-on except for warranty, the goal and methods of the post conflict with the thread title lol
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
Thanks guys. Yep I was just trying to go back to warranty status. Appreciate the help!

I would just slam the phone into the pavement and just return it that way, or say it ws stolen ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gefilus:
Galaxy note or galaxy nexus. Like them bouth cant decide
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergej_7:
my experience with google devices was very pleasant, since they all have no bloatware on them like touchwiz. if you're going to use a custom rom than it doesnt matter on the software side, the hardware i. e. camera of the galaxy note is better from my experience and the bigger screen is a +. the touchpen is also cool for draw something if your going to play that :p the galaxy nexus has also a big screen but the big bottom nav bar with the buttons removes a lot of space and there are very few apps that go fullscreen from my experience. the home button on the galaxy note is for me a little outdated since on screen buttons should be the way to go in the future, i saw many phones with hardware key problems after 2 years i. e. iPhone 3G/3GS Volume and Home Buttons, with on-screen buttons like on the galaxy nexus these defects can not happen.

Hi!

Well its time to upgrade my stock 8gb SDHC card...

Im looking into 2 brands -

Kingston 32gb class10 SDHC card

or

Samsung 32gb class10 SDHC card

Both costs about the same @ my local computer store so no difference there...

Can you help me decide what brand - kingston or samsung card would be better for my sensation?

Heard that these new samsung cards are with the best read/write speeds... is this true?

Help me decide please!

Thanks!

Peace out!
[HTC Sensation] himymista:
In my opinion Kingston cards are the best, but I dont think you could really tell the difference between these two, both of them are one of the best ;)
[HTC Sensation] Leemur89:
I used to have the Kingston card, it works fine with no problems. The only thing is Samsung's microSD card is waterproof right? So you might as well get that one. btw, I am using Samsung one now. And it is just as fast. Cheers~
[HTC Sensation] skygear:
I have killed many electronics with water - the only thing that EVER survives is the digital media. They advertise waterproof but all sdhc cards are to my knowledge

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Ssj:
Hey,

I was watching the videos and the hands-on pictures of galaxy s3 and i noticed that there's an ugly gap between the screen and the bezel and its really bothering me, especially on the white version of the phone. Can anyone tell me why is it that way? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find any so i decided to ask it here.

Thanks for the replies in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexanter the great:
I thing every phone has this black gap
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Ssj:
not as much as s3 :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
I too noticed the gap and it is much more visible in white sgs3 than blue. lets see what the s3 users say
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
It's there, but I don't even notice unless I focus on it. The screen is way to good to focus on a small black gap.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowabi:
I didn't realize it was there until reading this post ;-) Non-issue IMO.

BTW I have the white SGIII.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Ssj:
you know i was deciding to change my mind and wait for pebble blue color bcoz i thought that gap would be an issue. Thanks for clarifying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Literally didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I have the white and its fine. Probably less noticeable on the blue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Ssj:
but its so visible lol howcome you didnt notice that 0_o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Have you held a S III in your own hands yet? Videos/photos don't show the real beauty of the phone. Don't be so quick to judge :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholasyjk:
I noticed the gaps on my first S3, i went for a replacement this morning because of very obvious spots on my display under black background. Suprisingly, the new unit does not have gaps between the bezel and screen. It fits nicely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falluja:
I hade this gap too, should i return it ? I have a smaller One side of the bigger that are under the home button
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mani79:
I had this gap on my White S3, its like screen was coming off and i can see small amount of glu coming out of it.

i went back to shop and exchange with new one which is fine no issues now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyc93:
I too never noticed the gap until this thread...not an issue IMO (I have a white S3)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tight686:
Sorry to revive this thread but I also have this under my home button (though not nearly as bad as mani79 had). I just see a small "ridge" between the screen and plastic bezel.

The display model at my local AT&T store has it as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikee.H:
in having a look at my white s3, i dont have any issues whatso ever, not even a small amount of lifting or seperation. Must just be luck of the draw
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tight686:
Notice the ridge between the chrome and glass in this stock photo? That's what I'm talking about. That little ridge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimara:
just check, mine looks ok
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
I have the pebble blue version and a small gap on the bottom - it isnt noticeable though but I will keep an eye on it as I wont be happy if it starts filling up with dust and becomes unsightly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tight686:
This phone has a gap similar but slightly worse than mine. Notice the gap on the right and bottom of the screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayian:
Definitely there, but realistically you don't even notice it until someone on the forums points it out ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
I know, but it's pretty disheartening considering it's a £500 handset. I'm going to give it a week or so and if I see dust start to build up in the gap I'll probably get the handset exchanged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tight686:
I hate to say it but just from the looking around and Google searching I've done across multiple Samsung devices this is a pretty common thing (the galaxy nexus, the SGS II, the Note have posts on xda about it). Some argued it was to give the screen a chance of not compressing and cracking due to a drop.

But that doesn't explain why some owners don't report any type of gap upon examination.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
Ah so this is something that is common in previous models too? The thing is my handset has a small gap which is a bit annoying but otherwise has no other build flaws so I fear that if I exchange it I might end up with one that has more substantial issues. Kinda unsure of what to do :-(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komugi:
Because to be honest, it isn't that noticeable, unless you're extremely nit-picky.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
Yeah I guess it is pretty nit-picky lol - I feel like xda forums make us all a bit OCD about our devices
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matttye:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colint3:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danben7:
There won't be any dust in there. It's a sealed unit with the LCD.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Hope that is not a production or manufacturing defect. As I be getting one of these soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
I have the blue and my screen has no gaps so I don't believe it's on every handset
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
It definitely seems to be luck of the draw with this device
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laprodigy001:
hello,

i thought i was the only one who had this problem so i wasn't gonna bring it up because i didn't want to sound picky..but on my left side of the phone there is def a huge gap.i kept noticing stuff there and i went to wipe it away and noticed that there was a huge gap and it seems like glue or some crap in there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aimara:
just make sure to make a physical check before purchasing the S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sav_uk:
If it's really visible I'd say take it back for a replacement; a defect like that is unacceptable for such an expensive phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trae4nato:
I have the Garnet Red Galaxy S3 and I DEFINITELY have a gap between the screen and the edge. I noticed it and it's very annoying. It makes me feel a little bit better knowing a lot of people have it but it doesn't explain why some do not. I will be taking my red Galaxy s3 to AT&T this weekend to see if another one has the same issue. It's annoying for such a high-end phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rookiegenius:
I bought the blue one and never noticed the gap. then I exchanged for the white. I did notice the gap on my white one because I read this thread lol. It's not that big deal but I still went exchanged it for another white. It did trap some little dust in the gap. But I guess every S3 has this because I went to the store and the 2 display models there have it too (not on the side but at the bottom benzel)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee231090:
I have the pebble blue version and there is a gap and is starting to collect dust it's not noticeable indoors only in direct sunlight.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy CS:
Due to the colour of the handset, you can definately see the gap on the white more so than the blue.

Samsung phones always have minor faults... cant really get away with it S:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur Hucksake:
Phones created my OCD, not the other way around. Most of that is down to how much they cost.

Back when I was knocking about with Nokias I didnt give a damn about silly things like this, not even screen scratches.

My S3 has this gap on bottom bezel and there is dust trapped in there. Looks horrible because I cant help but stare at it. Cleaned it out, but theres marks left there sort of just under the rim I cant clean out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alextheguy:
If I wanna ask for this issue at the Samsung SC, what reasons should I give as I have noticeable gaps which will trap more dust in the future?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
It's an optical illusion the gap issue mostly. Is the gap on the left? Flip the phone upside down, if it's still on the left you have no gap, but an optical illusion occurring because of environmental lighting conditions and the phone design, making you think there is a gap.

Simple test :eek: just mentioning because a friend thought the same till I flipped his phone and showed him. He then went WTF :D

Swyped on I9300 - XXDLIB - Siyah kernel - JKay & Thunderbolt tweaks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alextheguy:
Yeah, the gap on the left side is larger, dust can be trapped easily. No matter how, the gap is there...Some dust can be cleaned out by inserting a paper into the gap but some still stick inside...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
Optical illusion? I don't know about that.

I found this thread because I was googling samsung galaxy s3 screen gaps. I've had my phone for eight days now, and this morning I noticed dust accumulation on the bottom of my phone. I have a gap between the screen and the frame, all along the bottom of the phone. I took a little piece of paper and slid it along the gap, to try and remove some dust. In a couple of places, I could actually see the piece of paper under the bottom edge of the screen. So to me, it's a pretty good sized gap.

Now I'm just trying to decide what to do. The phone will always be in a case, so I won't see it. But I know that dust will be accumulating in there. I would hate for dust to work its way into the active portion of the screen and ruin the phone. I'm sure that my TEP won't cover that at all. TEP's not cosmetic.

Other than the one gap, this phone has been pretty much flawless. My wife has a white one (blue here), and hers has a gap, though it is much smaller. But to my eyes, the bottom half of her screen looks purplish and the top looks yellowish. I'd much rather have a gap between the screen and the bezel, than have an uneven coloration to my screen.

I am loving the phone though. I tried every phone in the Verizon store. The only other phone that was this smooth was the iPhone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
I have been thinking more about what to do about this situation. If it is merely a cosmetic defect, then I guess that I don't really care. It is always going to be in an otterbox defender case, so I won't see it. The thing that has make concerned is that when I was trying to use a little piece of paper to get some of the dust out, I could see the paper under the bottom of the screen. I am not sure how these are built. Is it possible that the screen will lift up or that dust will get under the screen? I wouldn't be concerned if I couldn't see the paper under the glass.

Thanks

I too noticed when i saw the post. I have too white S3 and it isn't bothering me at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMS74:
Any more developments on this? Did h you guys will the gap on the left side gathered a lot of dust within this half year? I bought one pebble blue one about close to two months now and today I noticed some dust on a gap on left side of the screen. I didn't noticed previous, maybe because it didn't had dust in it. It's too late for a return now .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
I ended up with another one. Not because of the gap, but for other reasons that I can't recall now. This one also has a gap that attracts dust and stuff. Instead of exchanging for what is essentially a cosmetic issue that seems pretty common, I set out to find a good case that would cover the gap. I got a qcell extended battery. I tried a few cases for it, but none of them covered the gap well enough. I got a zero lemon battery. The case did a good job of covering the gap, but the battery was a monster and it interfered with my marginal signal. Then I ended up with the Samsung branded extended battery and some little 12 dollar case that fit the battery. And that little case did a good job of covering the gap. But even before I landed on the correct battery and case, I'd forgotten about it. Yeah, there's some misc crap in the gap and I can't figure out a good way to clean it out. But at least my case now covers the gap.

Oh, my gap is not on the left side - it's on the bottom.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
This is the battery that I got. For some reason, they're difficult to find in the states. This one shipped to me from the UK, so it took what felt like forever to get:

http://www.mobilefun.com/37556-genu...attery-kit-for-galaxy-s3---3000mah---blue.htm

This is the case that fits it:

http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_68&products_id=328

Just a nice, generic TPU case. But it definitely covers the gaps along the side. They also have TPU cases for the standard battery. I'm not sure if they provide the same amount of cover. I got this case two days after I ordered it. And it sat there for a week and a half while I waited on the battery. :D

I noticed this annoying problem while I am driving under the guidance of Navigation. Google Navigation will drop out of "navigation mode." The screen will dim and I have to tap the blue arrow to get into "navigation mode" again. The problem happens intermittently when I am on the open road with no signal 3G/4G signal drops--I run the No Signal app--and no GPS losses.

Why does this happen? Thanks.

Lately I've been hearing people talk about Face Unlock but could not find a single thread anywhere on the net that explains how to get it working on SGS.

I've installed Face Unlock under CWM, Installed GAPPS too and the GAPPS Fix is installed either but I don't get the Face unlock option in the security settings.

Am I doing something wrong? or is it not meant to work under CM9 and/or SGS?

================================​

I solved the problem by downloading the version of FaceUnlock from the url below.​

http://www.mediafire...qwb73zm74uld9iv​

It works perfectly but I think you have to install GAPPS first and you'll find GAPPS from this address by selecting the version that you want depending on your ROM.​

Good Luck.​
