[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Here's a short description of FD:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28279357&postcount=2

FD keeps the HSPA connection on standby which is an addon to 3G. So if it were to revert to 3G it would loose it's open high-speed data connection, timeslot allocations, ...

That usually means your phone was transferred to another cell or antenna on the same cell. It will then have to re-negotiate the low-level stuff.

Just to stress it out to anyone wandering by: Keep Fastdormancy ENABLED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS unless your provider does not support it or you actually know what you are doing.

Disabling fastdormancy forces you to fall back to 2G whenever you don't need the speed since it will otherwise drain your battery very quickly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
Thanks for taking the time to explain the details d4fseeker.

I had read an explanation of fast dormancy, but didn't fully appreciate the implication of some of the fine details.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb_jimmy:
Is that a normal behavior or a bad one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drag-On:
Don't get all angry at this question, I feel it is very justified:

In Germany, currently (today, 02/06/2012) the GS3 costs ca. 580 Euros. The HTC One X costs 480.

I am finding it hard to justify the 100 Euro increase in price.

So that is my "question" or "challenge" to you GS3 owners:

Convince me why spending one hundred of my monies MORE, is worth it.

Thanks in advance for all CONSTRUCTIVE, NON FLAMEY arguments and reports.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
why not make up your own mind? why have others answer your questions..it is YOU who is going to be using this phone no one else. and you ask this in the galaxy s3 forums were everyone will tell you to go for the s3.

do research..so many reviews and so many videos on youtube. google is your friend.

and second it is down to what you use the phone mostly for. but to make it simple for you i will spell it for you

One X: Premium build - Gorgeous Screen - Tegra3 chip out of the box - Sense

Galaxy S3: Faster processor - better development (if you are a flashaholic)- extendable storage and removable battery

both are gr8 devices with one having the upper hand over the other. thats the summary.

Thank you for the very prompt replies. and I had looked for similar threads which addressed the price difference. I have held both phones in my hands, I have read myself silly. I was asking here (as I will in the HTC One X forum) for the actual owner's experience.

Goku80 nailed it! thanks to all! Please close thread!

I have a US SGP5 using Eryigit's ROM (loving this ROM), and I noticed that after rebooting, the lockscreen toggle always reverts back to being "on".

So my question is: Is it me? or was that done by design? If by design, is there a way to "remember" the setting between reboots?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thanks

LOL you're damn near the headquarter's campus. Not surprised.

Sprint probably has it up for the HQ area.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
nothing officially yet....likely still testing in your location...dont be surprised if you can't connect to LTE in those same locations in near future as they go back to blocking them....

unless they stop that practice and start allowing devices to connect to the already tested locations...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Update guys: After leaving an area around a corporate store, the LTE disabled. I guess it was just enabled around a certain area, as I don't get it by my house! :'(

Hope they enable it soon

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sim-X:
Thanks, I was just curious on the speeds. Doesn't look all that fast especially with no one on the network. I actually miss wimax a LITTLE bit. It was just nice to have as an option if I wanted it. Gonna tough it out till LTE is up. I wish Nextel would just shut off, instead have to wait another year plus will have to buy new hardware for 800Mhz band.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Really you will have to buy new hardware in a year?

I wish I knew that!! I thought this EVO was future-proof

*falls over face-forward*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Master_sk3:
Its not a bad thing really. 800mhz LTE wasnt approved yet so they couldnt build it into the EVO LTE. If Lightsquared was approve we would all be sitting on some pretty fast LTE speeds rite now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Is there an LTE "Air Rave" ? maybe the store was using that, causing my LTE limited radius :confused: Also it might explain why it's so slow compared to the speeds reported in live Dallas LTE

Also do you think sprint will let me upgrade sooner if the 800mhz LTE launches within two years? I bought this phone to be future proof with Sprint's "latest" network, only to read in this thread that the current-gen LTE will be replaced by an even newer/faster/better/stronger 800mhz LTE in a couple years.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Dont worry. It won't be replaced. They're just adding a band and future phones will have connectivity to 1900 & 800 bands. AFAIK

It just says "4G" instead of "3G" so it's pretty easy to tell if you're on LTE

Could you please elaborate on how your battery life has changed after using this app? Do you have any idea what apps or processes did this app tone down in your phone to increase the battery life?

Thank you!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
Hey guys, I'm noticing an issue that occurs whenever I try a samsung-based rom or an MIUI rom. Basically, holding down power instantly shuts down my phone, instead of going to the power menu. Also, the lock screen never turns on for me. I can only assume these are related.

Relevant info: my device is the m250s(or the k, whichever uses a sim card). Basically it's the Korean version of the i9100. AOSP/AOKP/CM9 ROMs work fine, but miui and stock-based are giving me this problem.

Thanks for your help!

To start of, I'm new to this forum so excuse me if i ask something stupid.

Yesterday I updated my U8800 from stock Froyo to B526. I did all the steps like in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420728. Now i just don't know if my phone is really rooted, because i still can't erase the bundled apps. I could install the recovery but the bundled apps i cant get rid off. I installed Remount and File Expert, but i just can't remove the apk's. So how can i check if my phone is actually rooted and how can i get rid of bundled apps. Also because i want to install a new version of Swype.

first thing is make sure your battery have really dry yet

then if you dare, try it to your phone :D

as far as i know, some electronic things is safe to be washed

but before use it, make sure it really have dry yet (like motherboard computer, its safe if you washed it, of course it have been plugged out from the case :D then use it when it dry)

sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
Best thing to do is get a new battery.

I for one wouldn't risk putting a 20 euro battery in my 250 euro phone.

Admit defeat and get a new battery, or you might have to suffer the consequences of screwing up a phone. If a single droplet is between the wrapping, it will turn into "steam" when it gets hot, and your phone might suffer damage due to the water that will eventually build up.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] djentleman:

[Sony Tablet S] Warren_Orange:
Hi.

I'm trying to set a wallpaper on my Tablet S.

I've read that ICS uses 1920 x 1280, but when I set it it doesn't look right.

All I want is the stock ICS wallpaper.

I've seen the Tablet S Template PSD file, but I don't know how to use it.

Can anyone help?
[Sony Tablet S] xanderyo:
wallpaper wizardrii

Just use wallpaper wizardrii it can put the complete wallpaper with out have to use the crop guide of android free on the play store
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Yes, the full scale H x V dimensions for Sony Tablet S ICS wallpaper images is 1920 x 1280 pixels, but the images must be cropped if they are to be displayed correctly.

Sony explains how to select a wallpaper image in ICS

HERE

. To the best of my knowledge, Sony has not yet released a video showing how to crop an image in ICS, however, they do show how to crop an image in HC in this

VIDEO

located at YouTube's web site. Cropping a wallpaper image in ICS is done pretty much the same way as it was in HC.

I provided a wallpaper image template and explained the pixel dimensions and viewable areas of wallpaper images

HERE

. I hope you find the template and information useful.

I make my own wallpaper images using an image editing program on my PC then copy them to my tablet into a folder I created and named /sdcard/Pictures/Wallpapers. Any images stored in the tablet's /sdcard/Pictures folder and its subfolders can be previewed and chosen via the "Gallery" selection on the "Choose wallpaper from" pop-up that appears whenever you long-press on any blank area near the center of the tablet's screen. You can also get to the "Gallery" selection via Settings > Display > Wallpaper.

Of course, you could always download and install wallpaper apps, but most of them are advertisement based and they never provided the control you can have by making your own wallpaper images and cropping them yourself.

I hope you find my reply helpful.

i'm using this for setting wallpaper on my Teblet S!!!

[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
I also have installed the Simple Image Wallpaper app that your link leads to. It is actually a free, open source, non-advertisement based Live Wallpaper app. It works well, IMHO. One nice feature of the app is it allows for using different images for landscape and portrait mode.

Simple Image Wallpaper works best with images whose pixel resolution is the same as the screen of the telephone or tablet the app is installed on. For the Sony Tablet S in landscape mode, images that are 1280 x 752 pixels work best. In portrait mode, images that are 800 x 1232 pixels work best.

If the image is not 1280 x 752 or 800 x 1232 pixels, Simple Image Wallpaper will rotate the image if necessary for best fit, then stretch or shrink the image, and then crop the image until it fits the tablet's screen. This will sometimes cause parts of the image to be unviewable or to be displayed in a mode opposite to the intended landscape or portrait mode. Still, it's a great app.
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Had expected lag what with it being a live wallpaper, but none at all, fantastic!
[Sony Tablet S] rosedog:
Sorry to give this thread one hell of a bump but Simple Image Wallpaper just saved my sanity! Thanks, the word needs to be spread about this. I tried all the other "apps" and I can't get an image to display correctly in landscape mode to save my life. I'm using this on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It took me a minute to find it though under "wallpaper>live wallpaper" because it does not appear in my app drawer.

Thanks again! :good:

I was a Sprint/Epic Touch 4G user and recently switched to T-Mobile. The galaxy nexus is the best phone for T-Mobile IMO. I was going to get the TMobile Galaxy S2, but the price was very similar to the Nexus and I didn't like the Snapdragon processor as I found it laggy in the EVO 3D. I figured the Nexus' IMAP processor would be similar to the Exynos processor... only to find out it's laggy as well :( Comparing both phones side by side, I'm going to miss the smoothness. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this as well.

By laggy, i'm referring to screen transitions, swipes, video playback. They're all noticeably behind compared to the Exynos processor.
