[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Undeniably brilliant phone but I was expecting the same wow factor going from GS1 to GS2, but apart from the extra half inch of screen I barely see the difference, but I still have an amazing phone in my hand so can't complain, but he there isn't a seriously big step with GS4 I might have to seriously reconsider a few things.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Peace my angry friend.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
It's a very good phone but I've got to disagree with you in regards to the sound quality its a bit tinny compared to HOX.

S3 is growing on me I must admit but still stick by my criticism of it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yeah the sound's another thing I haven't liked on GS1,2 or 3 although the GS3 is fine I guess, but comparing the sound with this to my old N95 is like comparing cassettes with discs, because whatever Nokia did to it it's just in a different league to this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Peace my angry friend, its only a phone!:)

[Rant]Man you guys suck. Seriously. Pointless and redundant threads one after the next. Are there not enough comparison threads already? There's even a thread about known issues and who's disappointed threads. And who gives a $&%# if the guy next to you is returning it and why.. Its your phone can't you make the decision on your own? You guys all talk about the same **** in every single thread..:mad: [/Rant]

people expressing their views dude. I'm sure someone finds useful, perhaps help them decide whether to keep or not to keep that's the question.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Hey I'm new here so people repeating their views are helping me out with questions I didn't know I had.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Perhaps they should check the threads about known issues or the many comparisons. Its been talked to death but whatever.. its also about forum etiquette. Search before starting a new thread. EVERYTHING of what you talked about has been discussed in the other threads.

*EDIT* user reviews and what you think should go here: [The Official AND ONLY] 'I Just Got My Phone' and 'Users Initial Reviews' Thread!!

here's another thread that coulda been used:

Official Reviews, Previews and Comparisons as they come thread

You could have ask anyone their opinion in any of the existing threads. That's all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
sorry I don't recall seeing a poll such as mine. Its interesting to see the no of people who are happy or unhappy with s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
whatever man.. its all been discussed. There may not be an official poll but when it comes down to it- are you gonna return yours because the poll showed the majority of sgs3 owners returned theres? ... are you gonna keep it because the poll showed more owners kept theirs? In the end.. its up to you and you only unless your basing your decision on what other users think. Which would explain the poll. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
Riz157 claims to want to have a discussion but it's obvious that what he really wants is to find other people who hate the phone so that he can feel better about himself and rant together in a circlejerk troll fest.

If not, lets have a discussion then: still think that anyone who likes the phone is a fanboy? Also, can you list the bugs that you think are so abundant?

And don't say to me 'peace it's just a phone'. I already told you this isn't about the phone anymore, it's about you being a liar and intentionally creating this thread to insult people. I guess you don't see that huh?

You know, talking to people like you really is like talking to a vegetable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ref1ux:
This month I have owned an HTC One X, Galaxy Nexus and an SGS3. I sold the One X because I loved the design, but HTC Sense was too intrusive and too laggy. I've had the GNex since November and it's been fantastic. At the moment I'm trying to decide whether to keep it or the GSIII.

Overall I think the GSIII is better than the One X - it's less laggy, more comfortable to use and TouchWiz is unnecessary but fairly subtle compared to previous incarnations. I'd still rather see stock Android though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Don't hate me because I don't share your opinion.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
lol! You still don't understand what I'm saying! Didn't you even read what I said? I said this:

It seems like you really need to look in the mirror and stop being hypocritical since you're the one hating on people who don't share your opinion. Calling them fanboys, insulting them by saying they must have upgraded from an ancient phone.

You owe everyone an apology buddy :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
S3 is growing on me however I'm going to return it due to few issues with the handset not because of any other reason. This of course doesn't mean I won't get a replacement.

It is one of the best handsets out there but it does have some serious flaws.

My poll will hopefully help others make up their minds and by the looks if it most will be sticking with their s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Really that was tongue in cheek comment no offence meant. Look at the poll results thus far there are small no of people who are unhappy with S3 for pretty much similar reasons as to me.

I don't have shares in htc nor samsung so it doesn't matter to me who makes more money.

People should expect more for their hard earned cash, there is nothing wrong in that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
Every phone has flaws but the S3 will be hard to beat. It my have a pink tint when viewing a predominantly white screen at an angle, but is that how people use their phones? From an angle???

The closest competitor is the HOX, but the built-in hardware limitations of not having SD support or replaceable battery is a major handicap. Talking about lagging, the HOX screen transition has a serious lag issue, the S3 trumps in in this regard.

The S3 is not a phone you'd define by it's flaws, overall it's brilliant and currently the closest thing to perfection in today's mobile market - but still won't expect it to appeal to everyone as the poll shows, however, it has very strong support.

Keep the thread informative without trolling because you're coming across as one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
both phones have the good points and bad points. were the One X lacks in external memory support, it makes up by having a bigger storage memory which is 32GB. S3 is 16gb with the support of course for external. Removable battery. I really would love to see how many users really do have an extra battery on them on all times. Very tiny minority i bet.

Both phones have the plus and minus sides...Both are the top two android phones so far. It is down to user preference really. at the end of the day it is down to user if they are not happy with what they purchased. Hence the 14-28 day exchange policy. So consumers can try and make up their mind if they want a phone or not and exchange it for something different.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frostfree:
S3 comes in 3 variants, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. 32GB is currently a vodafone exclusive in the UK although the 16GB version's the one widely available in shops. Problem's that I have a 32GB card that's almost filled with music and pictures, so a HOX as it is has insufficient storage for me.

I agree most people will never carry spare batteries, but knowing it's user replaceable and offers the option to replace with a higher capacity battery - like the popular 2000mah one of the S2, offers some re-assurance and is an advantage nonetheless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
I've never been keen on carrying extra battery but at least the optiin is there for those who want to. One of the main complaints people are having is lag, screen reloading constantly. For those willing to forsake warranty can flash custom rom which will somewhat solve issue. It is surprising such an issue should be present in the first place especially being quadcore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarecrow2012:
Does anyone know if flashing the custom recovery also triggers the counter yet. No definitive answer from the search.

First post of Chainfires [PRERLS-REF] Root, BL, Kernel, Recovery says "Whether or not flashing a custom recovery also triggers this counter is as of yet unknown."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitepandaaa:
i was on checkrom, i restore then flashed back to non root stock gb rom, tried to update, which was downloading and it said "This version of the device cannot be updated" how to fix this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie:
You can change the csc to match your Rom or flash Rom from where your phone was from. Changing csc will wipe your phone.

**I do not own or created this App**

Found it in a thread and so I wanted to share it with those who haven't heard of it.

It's basically a ported ICS Launcher into GB. It has some good features, like ICS Icons, or stock GB icons selection (screenshots below.) And the ICS folders.

It's fast, smooth, and I really enjoy it. I plan on donating to the developer soon so that more features can be added. Try it and share your thoughts!

Edit: Just noticed a thread on this topic was started while I was out testing the App -__- . Move all discussion there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686231

Hi.

I ahve just flashed the KANGY ROM for the nexus s, and it has a theme chooser.

But the standard theme for the system ui, and contacts, dialer, you name it isnt the stock Ice cream sandwich theme. Its more black and white..

So my question is, is there any theme for themechooser that is the exact copy of the stock ICS framework? dialer, contacts,sms,settings, the right colors .???

Dont really like the standard for this rom:(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] nero17:
maybe one of the holo themes by RICARDO CERQUEIRA, serach form him on the market or xda, his themes are stock like with oher colors. if he provides one with the original one I don'd not.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] katmandu421:
Wondering the same thing for the same ROM. Doesn't look like Ricardo has any stock themes in Play.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

EDIT: Applied the outline theme to see it. Doesn't change the dark email, sms, gmail, etc.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rubenflush:
The KANGY ROM uses the Nova Launcher, which doens't support other themes, it uses his own theme.

With the Apex app, you can download themes from the Play Store!

Have fun with it!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] katmandu421:
I actually do use Apex as well. The themes I have tried don't effect the email and other apps though.

Hi All,

My Neo V is rooted and install CWM recovery, do i need get update from PC companion right?

Do i need to uninstall CWM before updating to ICS? :) thanks in advance.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vabby:
No, there is no need to get update from PC companion, you can download and flash custom ROMS made by devs at XDA which are better,cleaner,faster and awesome :D

No, you will need CWM to install the ROM which will be in the form of .zip so you should not remove CWM :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcflorence:
Thanks dude, but i want to use official ics from Sony, also my bootloader is lock.

so rooted and CWM recovery do affect official updates and installation of ics? O_O
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
Uninstall cwm but keep the root and then do the OTA (over the air) then yoou will keep your root but if you update with pcc then you are losing your root, but if you update with CWM then you get an error cannot install the update, but mate this is already posted so why double?

learn to search buddy ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
remove CWM, leave root, it's been talked about that already, read few threads in general section.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Vabby:
You won't recieve OTA updates if you unlock the bootloader using SE's tool

ie you cannot install if you unlock your bootloader, however your bootloader is locked so you can get official sony updates :)

Q.how do i know if the bootloader is unlocked?

quite easy, run either PCC or SEUS if it says that it can not recognize your phone bc you have a modified software then that means the bootloader has been unlocked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] marcflorence:
Hey guys,

Im searching this forum and googling about removing/unstalling CWM recovery for Neo V but no luck even on thread where i learn how to install cwm.

Can i still get from help from you experts?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
That means that bootloader has been unlocked official way(Sony dev. page)

Bootloaders un-officialy unlocked can be updated via PCC or SEUS.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noc123:
Hi. My friends asked me to bring a stock software to his Wildfire. Unfortunately I have a few problems I can't solve. Wildfire is on CM 7.2.0 RC1, Baseband version 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10, Kernel 2.6.35.14-nFinity arco@tuxbox #1. I suspect he installed CM 7 using ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.8 (this version is istalled).

In bootloader menu I have this info:

Revolutionary

buzz pvt ship s-off

hboot-6.01.1002

microp-0622

radio-3.35.20.10

I tried to install stock software using .exe file from this thread, but after verification it shows me USB connection error - phone is not connected.

So I decided to flash a zip file from this thread. But after wiping and selecting a zip file in update menu, CMW shows me this message:

I don't know what to do now. Can anyone tell me what should I do to bring back this phone to stock software?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Flash this file inside your recovery, it will give you a temporary 2.5 recovery which will allow you to flash the .zip file.

"Format with tool from pc"

Wat does it mean ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
I do not what it means.

But here's my suggestion. You do a factory reset, and while doing it make sure you check the box which says "Format SD?".

Before doing it take the back up of the pictures and music and things that you will need. In case you need to take back up of apps, use app monster and it will create apks of the apps in the sd card. Copy all these files to your pc and then factory reset along with the format option checked.

After its done, restore the back up (the music and images and photos and movies) and it should run smooth.

If not report back. I will try to help.

Thank You,

Rick.

And shud have to update my fone via suse wid or widout sim card In da fone....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
If the problem comes again, know that your sd card has some problem. Replace it. Or may be hard format it. (search the net and you will know what I mean).

Anyways, after installing the apps again, problem is not supposed to come. Just try as I or the other guy asked. It will surely solve the issue.

Thanks,

Hello, this morning i have found some build.prop tweaks for launcher,ofcourse i have tested it and my conclusion is: using about 2hours and it is working a bit smoother and without redraws.

here are those two lines which i have added to build.prop

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

ro.HOME_APP_MEM=40960

i have chosen 40960 because apex launcher uses about 35mb so i reserved 40mb for safety ;D 40*1024=40960 ;D

would be cool if you would test and leave feedback, lets try dennis to improve apex launcher for galaxy note users :)

edit: even force stopping it through settings/applications/running and going back to home screen it doesnt give any redraw :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:

Unfortunately, I experenced redraw situation with this method.

But its frequency obviously decreases.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EdgaBimbam:
atleast it decreased :) btw the main thing was- to get rid of black screen issue (which means the screen goes completely black and it takes a long time (sometimes > 5 seconds) to reload everything) have you got it? :)

i dont have redraws a lot because i made cpu up-treshhold 60% which gives better/faster cpu increasement :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] rilpromen:
so far so good

so far so good, before this fix i was having atleast 10 blackscreens a day now after i did this fix it seems much much better.I am running Apex on KingDroid v2.0 with XLR1 modem and SpeedMod kernel.

Thanks, I will report if something goes wrong.

"Whatcha talking about Willis?" Sorry, showing my age.

I have not really noticed any issues with Apex. But then I am running Paranoid, checked keep in memory, upped the transition speeds, set transitions to none, turned off dithering and turned on 16 bit transparency. I'm sure the rom has some memory modes to.

When I was running Rocket Rom or some other GB Rom, can't remember, I do recall seeing redraws of a few seconds occasionally. Since I have gone to a CM9 based rom I have not seen it.

I'll give it a try, more memory could not hurt the app.
