I am just going to keep it using talkatone until i buy legit sg3 from tmobile. Very expensive media player I must say.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dullhunk:
please consider selling it to me .. so that i can use it to test my apps :) obviously once u have bought your s3 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Cowboy2199:
I have a Galaxy SIII sitting in front of me that I have to get the seller to refund my money cause of this problem. Tmo says the phone was reported as not received after ordering. I guess when they do that, they block the IMEI and won't unblock it for anyone but the original seller. I guess after they pay for the phone.

Someone please help i have tried and tried to root my phone but to no avail. I want to go back to Gingerbread from ICS but what ever kernel i put on says its passed but i'm still on ICS.

As i've said my phone just wont root. And Kies says my phone does not accept updates. So is there a way to go back to GB? I dont care if i loose all my apps etc. I just wanna go back to GB. (Stock) if poss

If there is a way could someone help. All the links i find for GB seem to be dead.

Oh and I am not the greatest at jargon so an idiots guide would be needed as I am an idiot.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Ok, you do not have a nandroid backup of your former GB ROM.

Restoring this backup would be the easiest way to get back.

You are on ICS now, and un-rooted.

Maybe it is best to flash a new ICS ROM, such as XWLPD or XWLPF to your phone.

Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

There you will find the official ROM version as non-wipe installations and a description how to flash.

This is just to get a stable base to downgrade to GB.

Then choose the GB ROM version you want (also available in Intratech's thread), and flash it to your phone - in the same way you flashed the ICS ROM before.

After flashing, you may have to do a factory reset in recovery mode.

Press Volume UP + Home + Power button till recovery menu appears.

There you can choose to wipe data/factory reset.

Then reboot the phone.

Good luck!

Go to sammobile.com

Download a GB stock ROM

Download Odin for flashing

Flash the stock ROM

Your done

Chris.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dareas:
Here's your problem. Flashing different kernel won't change your Android version. Flashing GB rom will. Go to sammobile, choose your phone, download whatever rom you want from the list (look at its version before downloading it) and flash it with Odin. Flashing rom includes kernel so don't worry, you can change it later.

Hi

thank you for your response. but all i can find on that link are dead links. Can you advise of any working ones please.

Guys my internet connection is a bit flakey nowadays with multiple disconnections so I can't download a odin gb package, I'm on ICS now but wanna go back to GB (having some network problems,just to check) I however do have a nandroid backup of the earlier gb. Now can I go back to GB by just flashing the backup over ICS? Or will that screw something up? (Diff bootloaders etc?)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolopolus:
Ok, so I've found the section in 'Display' and switched Smart Stay on, but it doesn't seem to do anything. The small eye icon never appears on the notification bar, and the function doesn't work. I've noticed that with auto-brightness the screen is pretty much always really dim, and I noticed that smart stay won't work when the room is dim - does the phone think the light's too low and never switches the function on?

Hmm, off to try...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobidigital:
It does state when you activate it that it wont work in low light
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicolopolus:
Yeah, so perhaps it's the auto-brightness that's at fault? Been in daylight today and with the lights on at home - screen's been dim 90% of the time...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboywilson:
Right i too thought smart stay wasnt working. I too never saw the eye.

BUT... Having played with it some more heres how it works well in my eyes anyway :D

The eye icon only appears when the light is at the end of its duration setting.

For example i set mine to 15 seconds beacuse i wasnt sure it was working.

So every 15 seconds if your looking at your phone the eye will flicker on.

If its set at a minute you rarely see it as 60 seconds is a pretty long time to look at the screen with out pressing ought.

I hope this makes sense. Just set light time out to 15 secs to see what i mean.

I thought it wasnt working properly since every now and again id spot this icon flashing up and going just as fast as it came on, but i figure, its a battery saving method, so it wouldnt permanetly be tracking your eyes with the camera like the xbox kinect for instance, it comes on for a split second, if it recognises eyes are open and looking it stays on if not it turns off... i tested this, changed screen dim to 15 seconds for test purposes, staired at it whilst on web browser and every 10 seconds the icon flashed up and screen stayed on, closed my eyes counted to 10 and the screen was off

Has anyone played around with the Documents feature of the Samsung ICS Email app with Exchange? If you don't know what I'm talking about and you're using Samsung ICS Email for Exchange email, open the app and hit your options/menu button when you're viewing your inbox. One of the menu choices is Documents to where it prompts to enter a SharePoint server or file share server location.

It works for a file share server location for browsing the network in the format of \\servername\folder\subfolder but I get access denied when putting in a SharePoint library URL. I really like a lot of the additional features in this version and this Documents option would be fantastic if I could get it to work with SharePoint servers as it indicates.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] azoller1:
sorry i said it wrong, i meant on the page for the 4.0 it says in the description, we will fix this if it is hard bricked, and then when you go to the 5.0 page or the link it says in the description, we will fix your softbrick and it doesnt say anything about a hard brick so i was wondering if they fixed hard bricks for the 5.0 but it said only for th 4.0's

[HTC One S] Bernardos70:
....stalls the phone big time!

I've had the One S and I love this freaking phone. So far it is such a step forward compared to my Sensation 4G that it's not even funny.

I have run into a pretty annoying glitch/bug and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this: when pressing the multitask button twice in quick succession will cause the phone to lock pretty hard for a couple of seconds. The notification bar disappears, phone locks up completely, then when you hit home/back the notification bar is gone for a couple of seconds. When it comes back it is black.

Now, this would be a minor annoyance if it wasn't for the fact that the buttons are so sensitive that they pick up a press even if my thumb is just hovering slightly above them. Because they are so sensitive, it causes this to happen more often than I'd like to deal with on a daily basis.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

As an aside, does this also sometimes cause the clock on the top notifications bar to disappear on the lock screen? I've included the screenshot below to explain:
[HTC One S] Mathato:
Well I'm running a custom rom so I can't test your multitasking problem..

But it is normal for the clock in the notification bar to disappear when on the lock screen. You have the huge 5:00 clock. So the lockscreen removes the notification bar clock
[HTC One S] dementor123:
I can confirm this. Just tried and mine stalls as well.

Edit: I don't lose the clock on the notification bar though (on lock screen).

i can confirm this is happening (not always though) on stock, unrooted. would love to adjust the sensitivity of those buttons too.
[HTC One S] Nick L:
No problem here. Stock and not rooted.

Edit: Never had the clock disappear off the lock screen either. Something strange going on there.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
No lag at all on LeeDroid's ROM. All instantaneous :)
[HTC One S] s10shane:
as far as locking up the phone when hitting the multitask button twice quick, it doesnt happen to me at all.

the clock disappearing on the top notification bar is normal. thats the way ics is. i had the galaxy nexus stock and it did the same thing. i guess there is no point in having the little clock on the notifications bar when u got a big clock on the lock screen its self
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
My clock doesn't go away on the lock screen, and I don't get any lag when double tapping the multi task button. TMoUS HOS.

Samsung Galaxy Note Extended Battery 5000mha & Battery Door - Black $6.95 shipped!

Just thought I would post this up to let people know about the deal today....I just ordered mine. For $7 who could go wrong, plus it has the nicer sloped back cover!

http://www.all4cellular.com/product/samsung-galaxy-note-extended-battery-and-battery-door-black-3118.html?siteID=PvTvb1zzm2o-b4IPNS7Cb576xz2SSUhgKghttp://
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
You do know that this case is not made for the I717. It does not include the antenna and it does not snap into place correctly. You will have to take five minutes and use a file to correct the tabs. It will fit decent then, but not perfectly. Not sure what the antenna is for. I don't have LTE if that is what it is for so no biggy to me.

Then you can go one step further and get the Hyperion honeycomb TPU extended battery case which fits this battery door perfectly. And if the battery door is a little loose this case will hold everything together perfectly. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-HoneyComb-Compatible-International/dp/B007R5I8KA

With that case it is only slightly more bulky than my Seidio case was. Best thing I can still use this combination with my Seidio holster.

Just got mine today and it is still on the charger. I can't wait to put it to the test later.

This is a great deal. And you can't go wrong if you don't need the antenna and you can make the case fit yourself.

Antenna is for NFC, not LTE.

Battery Capacity	5000 mAh 3.7v

Product Condition	New

Compatibility	GT-i9220 Galaxy Note, SGH-i717 Galaxy Note, GT-n7000 Galaxy Note,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I already stated in second post that the battery door will not fit the I717. You will have to make modifications. And the hyperion case will only fit that battery door which is supposed to be only for the n7000. But after you make the battery door fit the case fits perfectly.

@jpeg42....thanks for the info. Actually just found that out and was coming back to report it. Doesn't matter as I don't need NFC either.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] professorbeej:
I went ahead and snagged it for 7 dollars. At that price, it can be a spare even if the cover won't fit.

Has anyone tried it yet? How does it compare to the OEM battery or to the Mugen one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
[YOUTUBE]TReisxI6aC0[/YOUTUBE]

There are no other covers/cases available to form fit this extended back other than a cheap leather looking belt case or the hyperion noneycomb TPU case mentioned above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] professorbeej:
I also wanted to add that if you're like me and have a white Note, there are color cases, too. I'm snagging the white one. It's a couple bucks more expensive, but for me it's worth it not to have another black phone.

I can't post the link because I'm new here (just got my first Android phone 3 days ago--this Note), but the Amazon product number is B007R661H6.

They call come up if you search for "Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case" on Amazon and have the same "not compatible" blah blah blah info the black one does.

Can we get a review on the life of the battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thetechman123:
I got mine to day I will post a review after a few cycles btw the back is the one with nfc and the bump on it :-( and my back didn't fit properly but for $7 I won't complain :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
What do you mean bump? The full curve or the ugly bump just for the battery?????

You have to file the back so it fits the US version of the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thetechman123:
Its the bump that's just for the battery its kinda disappointing because i was hoping for the full curve but it doesn't bother me and the back has all the nubs in the right place but the bottom right and the nub at the very bottom of the right side don't stay snapped in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] professorbeej:
I got mine in today, and it was not the battery listed. The case for the back was not uniformly thicker--just around the battery itself. I didn't particularly want that kind, as I wanted the whole device to be wider. This was a trial-run to see if the Mugen battery was worth it.

In addition, it isn't the battery pictured on the website. The battery itself says it is only for the i9220.

A bit disappointing, but I m only out 7 bucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thetechman123:
The battery does work with our device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Darrius777:
I'm using the extended battery right now, and I'd have to say it may be only slightly better than the stock battery. Maybe I need to let it drain and recharge some more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
I think the back is made for international and the battery is the same. Just mod the back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thetechman123:
No both work with the phone right out of the package
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alynch75:
Alas.... this is one of the craziest things about the new crop of smartphones.....Manufactures and carriers know we need more battery life. Third Parties know we need more battery life. When will the manufacture make an extended battery with cover so that third parties have a standard to make casess. ie... an otterbox case that will work with extended batteries or even some of the other third party outfits. This market would be a GOLD MINE to the first one to do this for all phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
Whats up with everyone receiving the wrong back? I just got mine and it too was the wrong back. Emailed them for a replacement with the PROPER backing. I already have a battery with the backing I was sent, I want the PROPER one, thats the ONLY reason I ordered this thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] professorbeej:
I finally installed and charged mine today. The thickness isn't so bad for regular use, but I'll see how it is carrying it around. I typically get 4 to 4.5 hours of screen time on the oem battery. So I hope this is better.

The back cover actually fits the I717, though it is a little loose. I may get a cover if I stick with it, but it's the one with a hump, so in don't know if the Hyperion one would still fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
I emailed them and told them they sent the wrong back, not the one in the picture and they said they would be sending a replacement. We'll see if they send the right one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Most likely they have received complaints on the battery back not fitting the I717 and are now shipping the correct back. Must have forgotten to update the pic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
I have no problem making it fit, LOL...send me the correct back!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deliriousbb:
I emailed them before I bought 2 to make sure they would send the ones advertised on their site. The CSR said, sure no problem. And guess what they sent me...the same as everyone else, the wrong back. Not to mention, they only sent me 1 when I ordered 2. I emailed them and they finally replied saying,

"We do apologize for any inconvenience, at this time this is the only battery door that we currently have. For this inconvenience, we can have you fully refunded. Please advise if you would like to proceed."

I guess I'll keep it since the back is the correct fitting one for the i717. The complete hump did not fit properly (for N7000).

FYI, it is out of stock now.

What a reliable store to buy from. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roperband:
I have an extra to sell if anyone wants one. They sent me two by mistake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deliriousbb:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsnowornever:
if it's the correct back I will pay for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roperband:
No, it's the one with the hump as seen in this picture (and the one everyone else is getting at this point):
