[Galaxy S III General] gav83collins:
dual boot the s3692079]I have an S2, and intend to get an S3 when my contract is due for renewal. However, having said that, I simply love the dualboot option that my S2 is having, and the great support that the S2 forum has.

Do you think that the S3 can go the same way as the S2, in regards to the dualboot option? Since root can be achieved without the handset, how fast do you think we can have the dualboot option, of course, provided that dualboot can be implemented in the first place.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I loved dual boot on ny s2, I got an s3 now, and the app "boot manager" I use to dual boot my EVO 3d , isn't yet compatible, ...........but saying this, the way development is in s2 and the growth of development on the s3, it won't be long before its fully possible, simply using an app with root to do it is fantastic , go check out "boot manager" in play store and keep checking the supported devices list
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Dual boot could be on Siyah S3 very shortly... Keep an eye on the thread. Take care

What is this?

The following is another new updated HTC RUU for the Holiday. This will be valuable if you're trying to restore your device from a soft-brick. I know nothing about this update other than the fact that it's Ice Cream Sandwich.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Does this do anything for me... Or do i just wait for it to be used as a Rom base?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kennethpenn:
It's up to you. If you cannot use stock, then wait for the folks to split it open and make a base out of it for a custom ROM. :cool:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] technote:
Looks like Bell Mobility's (BM) HTC Raider RUU, same version number as my stock Bell HTC Raider.

At any case, thank you so much for sharing, will save me some time if I want to restore to stock.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kennethpenn:
Excellent. Thank you for the infromation

Correct, my HTC Raider is from ROGERS however I'm running the BELL RUU being S OFF. There is a well written account on here for how to gain S off, its worth it!

Confirm this is Bell,

Using it as a new base for Dark Raider.

I ran them both on CM7 honestly. The go power app/widget thing I use tells me I have about 24hrs battery from a full charge. Don't know exactly how accurate that is, but I didn't really notice too much of a hit after applying them...
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
I didn't notice a huge difference with Speedy. I'm still using mashup even with CM9. It's pretty much a miracle worker.

[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
I still love my Bodyglove case. It's a hard two-piece case the perfectly slips over the phone. The red looks really nice. I've had it for a short while, still like it. Dropped the phone a few times no damage. Although once on a hardwood floor the bottom of the case popped off (kind of like when you drop a phone by itself the battery cover pops off).

Here's the original thread about it...

I dropped mine on concrete from 5 feet in the high gloss silicone case from vzw on day 2. It's still flawless.....
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
I use the standard kickstand case on htcpedia. Has a beltclip. Case is slim and tight. Doesn't cover the very top or bottom.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
the OEM verizon silicon case is actually really good!
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
Use one of those with my extended battery for road trips. It is sturdy and clean. Hard case for the stock battery.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
it fits the extended battery?
[HTC Rezound] gunz.jones:
The newer hard cases like mine from vzw fit standard and extended. My soft case is for extended only. I have a slim hard case for standard only.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'd like one too. I usually use the silicon one from VZ if I have one on but I can't stand how cheap it is. And I wouldn't mind one that's thinner too. Really just to protect against scratches and keep the camera lense off of the surface or a table lol. This phone feels great without a case, not so great with one. Does anyone know the thickness of the silicon ones? I see that the seidio cases are 2.0 - 2.2 mm thick
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I see that this only one is 1mm thick, is it good quality?

Wait on their website it says ~ 2mm
[HTC Rezound] drbveb88:
Incipio has two sweet cases for under 30 bucks. One is a little bit bulkier than the other but both are much smaller than the otterbox case. They both come with screen protectors as well, just know that they are about 1/8 inch short all the way around. Check out there website.. Incipio.Com

These are smaller than Seidio as well but offer great protection.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
It's very good quality. It's a two-piece design that slide and lock together so it will not fall off when dropped. Also, there is felt on the inside of the case so your phone doesn't get scratched.

I'll try to find my pics
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I saw these the other day when I was looking, they look pretty nice, but I was wondering if the power button is hard to push cuz it looks like its covered
[HTC Rezound] drbveb88:
The two piece case actually makes it easier to hit the power button and volume buttons. The feather case makes it more difficult. I really haven't been using my feather because of this fact.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Feather case? I will probs order a black one for ****s and giggles. I just hate using my cards online if I can help it. PayPal though hopefullyz
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
I bought this case and must say its very very sexy

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
About a month ago, I decided to wait for the ICS to come out before purchasing the Galaxy Note in Hong Kong. After waiting for such a long time, ICS was released but a lot of users in HK have been complaining several issues since then. I also heard complains of a few common issues (e.g. poor battery life, worse response time) from users in other countries. However, there are also people who are satisfied with the update. What suggestion do you have?

I can buy the Note in Canada, HK or China. Not sure if I could get an international, unlocked version without signing for a contract with a carrier in Canada.

If the issues are due to bugs in the ICS, all the users should have the same problems. However, some users have reported that after the upgrade, their Note performs better than before. I am confused.

I am currently in HK. As some of you may know, usually the stores here do not have satisfaction guarantee for full refund.

Another possibility is just to forget about the Note and go for the S3 which comes with the ICS. However, there could be other issues.

Any purchase advice appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kailashnj:
Note is a very good option to buy. Also with ics upgrade there have been mixed feeling but then there are always updates that you get from Samsung.

Another option is to install the room from many of our developers who do lot more better job than Samsung itself. For example I am on paranoid Android and I am sure I am not going back to the stock room ever again. My two cents
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
I went to a Samsung showroom in HK yesterday. Even the ICS was released 5 days ago, they still have both Galaxy Notes running GB. Perhaps they are afraid to let people know that Note + ICS = problems. I also checked with a Samsung store. The staff told me that he has not heard any complain. Yet, I have seen tones of complains posted on the Samsung Mobile Hong Kong FB page.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barracuda77777:
I can only praise the ICS on the Note, it is working perfectly and battery life is simply amazing. Go for it you will not have any regrets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vivek2701:
Galaxy note has no problems with ICS.. I am a heavy user of roms and other goodies from xda devs but since last week or so i have been on stock ICS lp8, n there are no issues whatsoever.. Battery life is amazing and the phone is snappy.

I always make a fresh start before installing any rom that is i wipe clean everything before i install a rom.. Therfore i dont get any probs:p

Anyways note is a much better option and just dont worry about the complaints, depends on user to user
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Wait till note gets delivered with ICS and not with gb on it. ICS is okay atm it could be awsome but has alot of issues to be resolved. Some of them in fast forward,

battery drain,

wakeup locks,

brightness adjustment,

Wifi issue

Signal issue

overheating,

And ofc bricked phones due the kernel emmc issue.

Or I recommended that you buy the note and stay with 2.3.6 lc1 it rocks on all aspects. Except hardware Acceleration. And stay tuned on xda for news and don't jump on the ship when a new version comes, wait for people to test it and post their thoughts-comments for it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Your options: Wait until the Note is shipped with ICS, or buy now with GB and wait until samsung deliver the ics. There are mixed feelings and experiences of the ICS upgrade and its more down to differing hardware compatibility issues that Samsung have yet to address, rather than specific software bugs. Unfortunately, there is not a one size fits all, hence one reason for umpteen different update versions of ICS spread out over the globe. Complaints on twitter and XDA about ICS are starting to build up about ICS.

My own plan of action now that i've owned the GTN7k since Feb. is to try ICS when its available to me, anything I don't like, roll back to Gingerbread. There is not one extra feature on ICS that I need, want or find remotely useful. I'f we're honest, that probably goes for most guys, but its always nice to have the latest and they'll never admit it. :D

Hey guys, trying out both silk rls2 and sos, which both are ics, I am getting random reboots. Is there any way of seeing why this is happening. I didn't have it while stock or on gb roms.

Switched to the latest eternity (non ics) and still getting reboots.

Any thoughts?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] richard head:
I have a vivid that I've been through hard times with. Went crazy for ics and bricked it for half a month. Then switched to iPhone.. now back to vivid with ics but no LTE. Originally the problem was that I had iPhone imei on the account but not anymore. Just doesn't work unless I use alternate apn settings. Any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
It is likely that you will have to manually setup the AT&T PTA apn (assuming you are with att as you mentioned Vivid and not Raider). The apn is usually the cause for the problem that you mentioned. Do a search in the forum and it will give you the apn settings that you need.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] richard head:
So I did add the PTA and LTE apps. I'm on stock Rom, ics, AT&T. And no LTE. Still. All I can use is hspa+ .

I'm kind of surprised nobody else has this problem. Stock Rom seems full of bugs to me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GlowingStar:
I had this problem before. All I did was set up the at&t apn. Applied then turned on airplane mode then wait a little, turn it off. That didnt work the first time so I restarted. Are you in a LTE area?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] richard head:
yeah dfw. I.will try doing a battery pull.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GlowingStar:
Did it work?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aballz:
same issue

I actually just bought my Vivid as well from eBay (supposedly new) and it came preloaded with ICS. I wasn't able to get any kind of internet connection with my old Atrix sim even though it showed 4G in the notification bar.

I went to an at&t store and they gave me a new sim and now the internet works but i'm definitely not getting the 4g lte icon or speeds of that nature via speedtest app.

I've tried both airplane mode and pulling the battery, with no results. I'm thinking of doing a hard reset now. *sigh*
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
Are you in an area where lte is being offered?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aballz:
And just to update, a hard reset didn't do anything.

I'm in San Francisco by the way. What's funny is that when i looked at the demo phone inside the at&t store, the icon for LTE wasn't on that screen either. That phone was running ICS as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lamebmx:
Mine came with ICS & showed 4g lte when it is in range. you do need to have an LTE data plan for the apn to work to connect you up with LTE. I figured that one out the hard way. Call them up or browse online for the LTE dataplan of your liking.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] deathnai:
I'm also in the bay area as well, within 2 miles of a LTE signal tower. Did you get a new SIM card when you got your Vivid? Because when I went to an AT&T store to upgrade my phone to Vivid, they had to give me a new SIM, because it was running LTE and that would not work if you have an older SIM, which at the time I had. So make sure you asked them for a new SIM card! :rolleyes:

Never mind, just re-read the above post, you got a new SIM card. Sometimes it would happen for any kind of reason, I would just walk back into the AT&T store and ask for a new SIM or new Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Yes, make sure you do have LTE specific data plan, as older data plans while work, will not allow you to connect to LTE data.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Crimson Ghoul:
Make sure they gave you an LTE sim and that switch over the IMEI because my brothers had the same issue
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Termus:
Hi guys,

I just bought my Xperia S two days ago outright and unlocked. ($484AUD from JB HI FI for you Aussies reading). My first smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S back in 2010. I loved that phone - I flashed custom roms, customised the crap out of it, and all that. At the end of 2010, my company gave me an iPhone4 and I was required to use that exclusively - so I sold my Galaxy S on eBay. I've been using the iPhone4 ever since that point, but I missed my Android experience so much that I spent my money on the Xperia S just two days ago.

The reason I purchased the Xperia S is because I really dislike/despise Apple products, especially the iPhone.. Every time I looked at it I felt annoyed and disgusted by its lack of customisability and its lame user interface.

Having shared that with you, I'm having the following issue with the phone… :(

My graphics always seem to lag/chop/stutter when things are moving around. It's not fluid. This happens when:

• Swiping the lock icon to the right, on the homescreen. (it sorta micro-stutters at least once during the movement animation)

• When swiping through homescreens

• When scrolling up/down a menu (especially the settings menu in the browser).

• Scrolling or zooming in/out in the browser… its just not fluid at all, no matter how complex or basic the website is, flash or no flash.

It feels like CPU/GPU lag. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm pretty anal when it comes to seeing animations run smoothly so it's possible that it happens to all of you, but you just don’t perceive it or care about it -- or maybe its just my phone. I don’t know!

Also I notice that the touch responsiveness is delayed by about 100ms… Anyone else get that? (e.g. Load up the browser. Use your finger to swipe/scroll down the page, and see how there is a delay between when your finger moves and when the page moves.

I've read some people say that their browser runs "Buttery Smooth"… !! Mine is no where near smooth let buttery smooth!

I'm hoping that the coming ICS release will help with this issue, but I'm also surprised that I see no one else complaining about this graphics stuttering. I mean, my old Galaxy S in 2010 was smoother than this and it was only single-core at 1Ghz with 512 RAM.

Some technical details:

Batch: 12W19

Build: 6.0.A.3.73

I've uninstalled all the Sony bloatware that lets me uninstall.

I've tried without a live wallpaper

I've not tried any task killers.

I really like the quality of the screen and want to love the phone, but this speed/performance issue is really bumming me out ;/

So, do you 'xperience this too?

Thanks for your time,

Termus
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hhlong89:
Use it a few day and it'll stable than now! It's my experience with all Xperias like X10, Arc!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Or maybe try a factory reset and reboot the phone few times.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Termus:
Thanks guys, i'll give it some more time and reset it.

But i just wonder, is your browser experience nice and smooth? Maybe my hopes are too high, but i'd like to confirm them ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Yes the browser and everything is smooth.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wanzer:
No mine is not, and I'm experiencing the same "all-around lag" that you see.

My device has locked bootloader (i'm waiting the ICS update to unlock it, especially coz I need to send it back to Sony due to the yellow tint display) and I hope ICS update will fix this horrible thing before the moment I'll choose to sell my device (really, I don't complain this things, coming from an early2011 SGS2).

PS. BTW I've got enough free ram to run everything smoothly, so it is not Sony-bloatware related.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Termus:
Ok, while it's sad that you also experience this slowness it's good that someone else has 'fessed up to having it as well.

It makes me wonder... All of these devices are "made" the same, i.e. they have the same hardware. Why would some operate smoothly and others not? It's either that our devices are slow or the everyone else is in deep denial.

If the ICS update doesn't improve my handset's fluidity of graphics I'll probably sell it. I want my Android experience to be silky smooth, and if that's not possible yet, i'll just wait!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wanzer:
This. Or they come from really lagghish terminals so we could have different ideas of what "smooth" could mean, but generally 70% doesn't admit the thing they bought is not as good as they think.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mailthesauce:
Maybe because you came from an iPhone which has pretty smooth animations compared to some Android phones. My iPod Touch feels slightly smoother than my Xperia S, albeit the slower scrolling.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
i kinda forgot bout the stock rom experience, but i surely remember there's no such thing as the lockscreen's slider lag and touch responsiveness is delayed (and 100 ms? really? do you, yourself, have some measurement devices or something?)

now im in doomkernel and ka05.2 sspeed and all the things that u mentioned didnt happened. well, i maybe come from very-very-very-slow phone (LG GT540), but even my friend who has iphone 4s for awhile said that the animations and the smoothness in my phone (XS, ofc) is really smooth, almost the same as his iphone. even with some widgets here and there (his iphone doesnt have widgets, well duh!) and i feel the same too (but what do i know right?)

and he even likes it better browsing with phone rather than his iphone. though i gotta admit than i use the stock browser rarely, i usually use opera mini because of my crappy mobile network's speed. but they both works really well and smooth (pinching, zooming, scrolling)

but though i agree that smoothness is something that cant be measured, it's really objective thing, and maybe my friend just said that because of his kindness to not insult me or something, idk and i dont really care, for me it's just as smooth as his iphone.

so my verdict: your stock rom has issues (though most unlikely), the custom rom has some kind improvement (well ofc, but to have even lag in lockscreen it's kinda really bad for stock rom), there are some apps that make that lags in your rom, or you have faulty phone, you came from the future where everything is at light speed.

do u see the ics leaked video for XS? and how bout your gaming 'xperience?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] orangpelupa:
Try installing MyPhoneExplorer on the phone and let the MyPhoneExplorer PC client monitor the cpu usage in realtime.

so when the lag happend, look at the pc monitor. does the cpu usage spike to 100%?
