[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blairh:
I'd like to hear from people who currently own the SIII or have compared it directly to a HTC One X and iPhone 4 or 4S.

Specifically what I'd really like to know is how the screens of these devices compare to each other. From personal experience, I find the screen of the iPhone 4 and 4S to be a bluish hue whereas the One X has a wonderfully white display. (When both devices are at full brightness with auto brightness disabed.)

I'd like to know if anyone has experience comparing the SIII screen to the 4/4S and/or the One X. What I can tell from comparision videos so far is that the SIII has a bluish screen (a la the iPhone) compared to the One X.

Also, the issue the One X has with multitasking is well documented by now. Does the SIII share this issue?

Thank you in advance for any answers. After seeing the leaked next gen iPhone pics, I'm seriously contemplating getting the SIII when it comes to AT&T.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamenramen:
I am picky about screens. Or I should say, I became picky after owning the iphone 4.

The iphone 4 screen is 2 years old. It did not change for the iphone 4s.

Yet, it is still the king of the hill. The benchmark. Nice and bright with typical IPS viewing angles and a standard hdtv-like presentation (~500 nits) This does NOT speak to Apple's greatness. It only speaks to Apple's leverage and high standards for parts. They got exclusivity, and a high quality part, at a mass market price. Not sure if another maker could have gotten such a nice screen at an affordable price, nor am I sure if another maker would care to the degree that Apple does about using premium components. Colors are a bit undersaturated if you ask me. Thankfully other makers are now catching up to the iphone 4's display. But a tip of the hat to the iphone 4, which started it all and is still at the very top of the heap even 2 years later, an eternity in the smartphone world.

HTC One X, is the first screen that surpasses the iphone 4's screen, simply b/c it's bigger but maintains the same quality. I'd say that white is more truly white on the One X, and the screen is slightly brighter (~550 nits). Colors pop more and are more fully saturated. I would choose the One X or the iphone 4s screen soley based on your preferred screen size.

S3 I have not seen, but I have seen the Note's screen and Galaxy Nexus. My main issue is that they are not nearly bright enough. Blue cast, and of course the pentile matrix display. The matrix was easily visible to me, and the ovrriding reason why I downgrade the screens vs the One X and iphone 4. Next comes max brightness (~330 nits). You want a higher brightness when watching videos and using it in the sun. On the plus side, the blacks are the deepest they can be b/c the pixels are completely off. Can't beat that. Colors are very saturated, which is better than undersaturated. Also wonderful viewing angles.

My opinion is in the minority. Most people think that the S3's screen is wonderful and amazing. They are not bothered by the measurably less peak brightness, and the easily visible (to me) pentile matrix. I believe that IPS tech is still the superior one simply b/c it looks more natural, or maybe it's b/c what we're most used to, even outside of smartphone displays.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blairh:
As someone who has compared the iPhone 4 and One X screens side by side, I agree entirely with your assessment. (I do think the One X has a definitive edge overall compared to the iPhone 4 screen.) However I think you'd need to see the SIII in person before making any assessments regarding it's quality. The impression I'm getting from HD YouTube videos is that the SIII screen possess a bluish hue, a la iPhone 4/4S, however the pentile display does not seem to produce a great deal of pixelation as I originally feared.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plisk3n:
I've seen them all, and HTC One X's screen is definitely the best. You'll really notice the difference if you put them side-by-side for sure.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blairh:
Screen aside, I don't like the One X. Multitasking issues. Camera bump on the back. Prefer the hardware home buttons of the iPhone and SIII.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:
Htc one x screen is awful. Is clean yes but colors r not natural. White is not clear white whilr black is grey.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salada2k:
I own both and I will say this:

The One X screen is amazing. It is pin sharp. Fonts looks amazing. Colours are very natural and look good. (Sorry Totòòò, I disagree with you, perhaps your screen was faulty)

But, the Galaxy is better in 9/10 ways. It's near impossible to notice the pentile matrix. You have to zoom in on a font to even notice, beyond regular reading levels. The One X screen is just that bit more sharp, where in the above scenario, you still cannot make out any dots. EDIT: Although I have found that different fonts yield different results. For example, the font used in the stock browser looks really good, even when zoomed in a fair bit. The font used in Chrome Beta, does not. I notice the pentile matrix a lot more when using this font.

The galaxy S3 screen has deeper colours (if you've seen AMOLED before you know what I mean), and I find it more pleasurable to look at.

The only detractor with the S3, is that when scrolling text on white backgrounds (e..g web pages), and scrolling it fast, the fonts tend to blur a little bit due to the pentile matrix. When you stop scrolling, the fonts are pin sharp. The One X did not suffer from this.

Overall (and believe me I am picky about my screens) I find the S3 screen to *just* have the edge over the One X screen, due to the fact the colours being that little bit more pleasurable to look at.

Of course, this is all subjective. YMMV. At the end of the day they are both very good screens.

One X shty multi is the same as Sensations, totally a disaster. Plus closed case, cannot change acu, no microsd and huge slowness. Seriously this phone sucks. SGS3 on the other hand, like SGS2 do not have such problems.

Hi. I follow the process but i got a message "writing 'recovery'....FAILED <remote: not allowed>.

Why this happen?
[General Topics] Annoymous Man:
The HBoot

Maybe it's because HBoot locks your Recovery Area, without Eng Off that HBoot, your temp root to it lost once it rebooted.

Follow the Downgrade Guide to see if you can temp root it again before flashing the recovery file again:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markbaja:
Just a quick question regarding uprgrqsing firmware, I've recently put on the latest XWLPD and went through Titanium Backup, deleted, frozen etc to my personal liking, got phone going smooth as anything with Jkay, NEAK kernel etc, then XWLPF comes out!

I hear the battery is much better, so I want to upgrade it, I have it downloaded, but I can't be bothered going through Titanium Backup to delete, freeze all the bloat and unnecessary crap.

Problem being I didn't write down what I froze/deleted, so I have to work out what to do again as there isn't a safe to remove list for ICS, as there are a few different additions over GB.

If anyone has any advice to make update a little easier, I'm very happy to receive it.

Thank you.

You could always flash a rom which comes slimmed down and free from bloatware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
If its a non-wipe rom of the same base (I.e. Samsung or AOSP), you can just flash straight over the top, I believe Odin does a dalvik wipe automatically, or there is an option in CM recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixdankd:
Hi all,

The last three days, my admob revenue decreased by 40-50%. The eCPM went also down by a few cents.

I did push an update three days ago, can this be related to the revenue drop? I didn't change anything in the layout of my app, the ads shows up in exact the same place.

Impressions, clicks and CTR went also down by 20-30%.

Do other devs here experience the same drop?

What could be the explanation behind this drop?

Thank!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixdankd:
I have noticed that the amount of installs also went down with 50% after i updated my app. Really strange.

I this my reward for putting effort in updating my app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is most likely due to 70% of people using add blockers so the adds get blocked. As for the installs I really cant say.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
I've seen a drop in my requests and revenue as well. By about 1/3 the original value. But its been that way since a month or maybe more not the last 3 - 4 days. I, too, think its because of adblockers.

What about the requests? Did your requests drop too? How long has your app been in the store?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixdankd:
But is it not strange that the amount of users who use ad block is increased 50% just in one day?

The amount of requests/impressions/installs/downloads/revenue all went down, only active installs didn't go down.

I really think it's because of the update, because i have only seen a drop for the app i updated, the other apps i wich i didn't update show the same growth as before.

And all my apps target the same audience.

But i don't understand how a update wich fixes little bugs and some minor UI changes could make everything decline? Even the amount of installs? I didn't change the name or the description of my app, so how is it possible that even the amount of installs went down after the update?

Right now my app is 1,5 months in the play store. Before the update i saw a growth of 20-30% everyday, after the update everything went down.

[HTC One X] thedan55:
Hey Guys I love my one x and I have an external charger.

Its a 12000 mah battery and is rated at 5.5v at 1a for phones and another port at 5v at 2a

Its more than enough to power the one x at the same rate as mains.

When I plug it in the phone only charges as USB not AC. I was told that all I had to do was bridge the 2middle lines on the USB port, but that didn't sound right to me so thought I'd have Xda confirm :D

With my touchpad I had to make an adapter as it needs more juice and stuff so being told to just bridge sounded off.

Thanks all
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
You have been informed correctly. Your phone will look to see if the two data pins are shorted. If it sees that, it'll not limit it's charging current to 500mA. This is what HTC do with their official mains wall chargers.

It is usually tricky to modify the centre pins on the USB socket, and would certainly bugger your warranty with your battery. What is easier to do is to modify a cable. Get a spare one, and peel back the insulation and screen. You'll find 4 wires, red, black, green and white. It's the green and white ones for data. Cut these, and the end that plugs into the phone (the micro USB side) twist them together. Patch the cable back up with electrical tape. Your phone will now see the short on data connection and behave like it's plugged into an official HTC wall charger.

It's important to mention that you should never use a modified cable between your phone and PC/laptop. You may risk damage to the motherboard.
[HTC One X] thedan55:
Thanks mate.
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
I glued a square of aluminum foil between the two center pins on my charger.
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
Hi, I have a Trent imp1000 which has 11000mah capacity. That means it can charge our one x 6times. But it's only charging my phone for 4times. Is this because the battery is supplying the power at rate of 1A and our phone can only charge at 650ma? Possibly 350ma of wastage?
[HTC One X] thedan55:
Its the same issue mate. You need to short the two middle pins to get the full AC version of charge.
[HTC One X] ffforce:
It's because of the loss of power through heat. These things aren't 100% efficient, and not all the power in the external battery goes into the internal battery.

When I press the function key on my Crossover, I am promted with a menu to add favorite apps.

I already have some ten other ways to access apps, across some 9 homescreens (FTL launcher) and the app menu. I don't need this pesky menu - or the pesky button I keep accidentally pressing.

I would like to be able to repurpose this button to do other work for me... say, to launch a new message or to launch Opera.

Anyone know of relevant apps or hax?

We have a few Custom ROM's at our disposl now, currently i am on the one by eyoncomputers, its been some time now.

How would you choose between, FunSeries, JetMod & Cyanbook!!

Come up with a proper and justified answer please, it is a pain installing all the apps again and signing into accounts everytime!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karndev:
FunSeries and JetMod are more like AOSP based roms.. and CyanBook is CM9

Google and u ll knw the difference between aosp and cm9.

So its more like what u prefer..

and use titanium backup for apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] geekovary:
Cool, so google makes me opt CM9! Will download it today, and that bloody titanium app doesnt back up apps for me, **checking the app for the exact prob**

Backedup apps, now i suppose, i need to keep that folder separate and flash the rom and then put that folder back in place so as the app could detect! Is it so, and btw's noobie question, where are these apps stored ? Internal SD or Sxt SD?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karndev:
Its more of personal taste. some prefer AOSP.. ..

This shud give u some idea on how to use titanium back up :) : http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-use-titanium-backup-for-android-complete-guide/

Apps will be stored on internal SD ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] geekovary:
Is it so? Of what i read, it said AOSP's are basic faster ROM's that's it! Nothing great!

Would help, if you could through some lime light!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] krishnandu.sarkar:
Yes they exists. See I'd personally say, test all of them and choose the one you like.

Many opt for Oxygen ROM instead of CM Crap (as they say). Oxygen is pure AOSP, with unbelievable battery life and simple with no crap. Even it doesn't contain File Manager.

So in simple words, it's upto your mentality, whether you'd like Ubuntu or Fedora or DIY Arch :P

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawonga:
So living in canada, I have a question about the S3's:

Since the Canadian version is coming out on the 20th (which is the duo core snapdragon 2gb ram version) I would like to compare the two versions.

In Vancouver, our LTE only works in like 1/4 of the city so I'm really not after the LTE.

I have already pre-ordered the international version and was wondering which variant was faster.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konfuddle:
To my knowledge, both variants are very comparable. From the benchmarks I've seen comparing the HOX with the Qualcomm S4 chip vs the SGS III, the quad core Exynos processor is pretty much on par with the S4. Although the quad core Exynos did come on top by a negligible margin. However, in actual performance, you shouldn't notice if one is faster than the other.
