[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phonegasm:
Very niche problem

I would suggest just leaving it alone. But if you really must, you could modify a theme for your rom and remove the 4G icon from the notification / status bar. Or try the glitchy but usable lockscreen / status bar mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276553

As far as removing it from your settings all together, that would require decompiling your settings.apk and then removing the code (probably XML) containing the 4G part. Then recompile the apk and push back to system. It seems simple enough, just make a backup just in case. A great tool to use for this is: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577025&highlight=autoapk

Will your devise go into bootloader mode? Sounds like its missing a rom or you may have bricked your phone! What were the specs on your phone before you tried to flash?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirajgoku:
Can you enter bootloader? If yes did you install R/H SPL before flashing?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kymadynacon:
My model is R800a, and realized that all the roms I installed r800i, greatly increase energy consumption, may be just me, or it may be because the battery percentage indicator, I'm looking at it all the time, I would know if you have to remove the value.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikexd1:
Its not because r800i roms, its because custom roms have really poor battery life:(

Try with .62 from r800i and the battery life will improve a lot.:cool:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoecky:
But with .62 its not so easy to get root access.. i have .42 with root (zergrush-root in less than 10min)

and battery-life is quite good.with some apps you maybe get some more out of it...

Well, i am very annoyed by the front facing camera. Every time i use it, i have to use a small shart object to clean the lense of dust. This is the only phone i know that has a recessed camera. Anyone has this issue? Any work arounds?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tekkneke:
Unfortunately there isn't much of a workaround to prevent your camera from being recessed :).

However, I can tell you that I don't have problems with dust collecting on my lens, so maybe it is something about your usage of the phone that is contributing to dust collection. Personally, I have no case on mine, and my phone is usually either in my pocket (facing forward if that matters), or laying face up on my desk at work.

As a side note, I would think that a small sharp object is probably not the best thing to use to clean a lens. Also, are you cleaning the lens because you are actually seeing artifacts when you use a camera app, or just because you see dust on the lens? Especially in the case of the front camera (due to the already lower quality), I am doubting you will actually see anything unless the dust is rather large.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jason.hamilton:
I see it when I try to take a picture. Its all blurry and whitewash. I also see dust/pocket lent. I have ghost armour so not much of a case. I use a mechanical pencil head with tissue on it to wipe the lense. It is fine after that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dcaples002:
I used the led pencil or pen method with a tisue or cloth and I broke the glass over the ffc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zobabe:
Yeah I had dust collecting on my front facing camera to the point that pictures were extremely blurry. The solution for me was to simply use a Q-tip to clean the camera. Everything was fine after that
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KillerBeaver:
My girlfriend and i had the same problem. We also used qtips to clean the lens and it was much better afterwards.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yup. Q-tip works just fine. I also use just a dab of window cleaner on the very end of the Q-tip, to help pick up the dust. Just enough for the Q-tip to be a bit damp, not so much that liquid gets into any crevices. Even though the Q-tip is bigger than the opening, you can press it in just enough to get the job done.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Thanks I will try this. I used a tooth pick but tried to be careful not scratch.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
Not only is the ffc useless, but so is the main camera. I have NEVER seen such poor behavior from a cell phone camera in terms of getting contrast, saturation, and color balance even remotely close. Skin tones are garish pink, makes everyone look like a cooked shrimp. Warmth is off, and the various color balance modes are completely useless. Yes, I have tried all the various settings and I know a thing or two about I-cameras (http://groovygeek.deviantart.com/gallery). The only semi-usable solution I have hound is HDR Camera Pro, and that is only because it immediately goes into edit mode after taking a pic, with sliders at your fingertips to tweak contrast, brightness, saturation, warmth and hue. I usually find myself backing off saturation quite a bit, bumping up warmth gently to compensate, and sometimes tweaking contrast. EVERY image I have ever taken has needed rather significant tweaking, I am not sure how HTC manages to get it so completely wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Whoareyou:
Shut up, we didnt ask you to come here and complain about the phone, and maybe you should try WITHOUT HDR!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
I don't understand. The only reason I would ever go back to sense is for the camera app. It took most beautiful pictures. Then it was a step up in sense 4+. Either your lens are super dirty, or you are doing so terribly wrong.

And to answer your first question, remember cameras on the flip phones...?

Hey everyone, rare poster frequent lurker...

I seen a few people posting about reviews of the us models so I'm hopeing this is a question that maybe able to answered now?

Does anyone know if at&t and tmobile versions of the phone are one in the same? I mean i know they both use different frequencies for there 4G/LTE / + network but is Samsung installing radios/modems to cover both in the gsm model?

Here is my question in use.. I am interested in the tmobile s3, I have a work phone that is on at&t. I would like to run dual sim so I can just carry one phone or worst case swap sims as needed. Is this possible or would carrier specific models prevent me from accessing high speed internet?

I know its early yet but like I said I know there have been some hands on reports and a lot of talented people here that might know just from knowing the hardware Samsung used? If anyone can shed some light it would really help me out as I am doing my research now on which version suites me best. Thanks in advance!

Danny, go to all apps > calender . Then look at the bottom you will see 4 icons. For you day is probably first. Long press the day icon until the screen turns black and it will say press and hold icons to rearrange. You can sort the 4 icons and by sorting month icon all the way on the left side it will now default to month.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidcmc:
I'm using PC Companion. I Don't have that "Update Service" folder inside Program Files.

Also, in Sony PC Companion folder there's no blob_fs file.

Nope. It's the WT19a US generic firmware (CDA 1254-1956).

You can find SK17a ftf here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693431.

It says "Generic US", but Sony's firmwares have system languages for every officialy supported language.

Doesn't matter if you download an US or brazilian firmware, you'll have the Spanish language in it.

Just be sure to download a "SK17a" firmware, not a "SK17i". Else you're going to screw the baseband of your phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Ftf can only be made by updating from SUS . Here is what u do now..

Download SUS.

Follow their steps.

They tell u that phone already has latest software......

Still u can reinstall the existing android version. Note thT it will wipe out everything....

Thn it begins to download

After it has downloaded... Thn u can go to above mentioned blob fs folder....

There arrange them by date in descending.... Top 3 files are the firmware files ... Take them and store them somewhere.... Thn start flashtool...advanced... Decrypt files.... Point to those three... After decryption it shows many files ... Select them all n bring them to right column.... Also fill in model,version number etc etc... Thn it asks u for fone model ...chose wt19...... And now u r done.... Look into firmware folder of flashtool ... There should be ur ftf.......

And instead of reading all above things .. There is a simple video on youtube abt backing up ur sone ericsson firmware..... Search that :-P

i mean one loader.sin is in flashtools>lt18 folder

and other in the ftf file i created and flashed from that only...
