I don't know why and I'm not making this up but when someone calls and texts me or even a notification comes into play the ringing never fades in. It always plays the volume I set it for, I don't know why it's happening to the most of you though. Mine's made in Vietnam and so was the battery and I got mine from an official samsung retail store not from a carrier (since it's a 3rd world country) so I have the international quad core version.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chiraagt:
Its quite simple actually I just did it myself with quite a bit of ease.. I am a newbie to all of this stuff too.. All you need to do is:

You need to be ROOTED to do this.. TheVelvetTear confirmed this in the next post

1. Download the zip file and paste it either on your Internal Memory or your SD Card..

2. Ensure you have CMW installed on your phone. If you don't go to the play store and install it

3. Remember to backup SecPhone.apk and SecPhone.odex In case something goes wrong (I skipped this step as I didn't know where one must back it up from I tried searching but I couldn't fine the files)

4. In the program there will be an option like Flash Update (flash an update.zip) manually select the file you have downloaded. And the rest is automated the phone will reboot install the mod and Voila all done..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] TheVelvetTear:
Yes, to access those files you must be rooted. Great tutorial by the way. You just need to state the directory next time. Otherwise they won't know where to look.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chiraagt:
Are you talking to me? Cause I have no idea where those files were either..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] KaBacon:
Any chance of getting this for the Verizon variant?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pelpa87:

After replaced SecPhone.apk in /system/app with a file explorer, check if the apk have the permissions rw-r-r.

Then reboot your phone and should be ok.

Thats the right permissions mate.

But im using es explorer to changes them.

I can see in the pic that your system is r/o and not r/w.

Try to change it to r/w and then change the permissions as you tried in your pic.

Jellybean Version?

Hi could you make a JellyBean version for this MOD? It's not working for official JellyBean
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cropcircle:
Hi.

How do I uninstall this MOD?

I have stock rooted LH1 with no mods except this one. I don't want to flash a new ROM. Just to uninstall this MOD.

When I try to copy the two files to the /system/app folder, the File SecPhone.odex is faild to copy. I also don't see such a file in the folder.

the file SecPhone.apk is able to copy just fine.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] brouwerchris:
Tip for who's on DLJ4 : download Criskelo ROM V18 DLJ4 , extract Sec.Phone.

On your phone delete Sec.Phone and Sec.Phone.odex

On your phone move Sec.Phone (from CR V18) to system apps.

I wiped cache,dalvik cache and fixed permissions,not sure though if this is needed.

Reboot and enjoy Non Increasing Ringtone.:victory:

Credits and Thanks to Criskelo !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kusumo:
can you upload the files ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] brouwerchris:
Sec.Phone.APK from Criskelo V18 DLJ4 :

Extract from zip and place in System/Apps after deleting Sec.Phone.APK and

Sec.Phone.odex in your current DLJ4 ROM

Works great on JB 4.1.1 using this method ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jubibubi:
No rooting or hacking

Actually there is. I was lucky to find an app on the Play store called "Disable increasing ring". Just installed it and the increasing ring stopped. Didn't had to root or hack my phone.

Btw, if you have Jelly Bean you can disable the app notification from the application manager.

I hope this helps a lot of folks like me (that can't root their phones)!

I just got my Anti Glare Matte Screen Protector today and i love it

Here are some of the pictures from after installing it! i have 5 pcs that i dont need...

Here is the link!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] RMXO:
What case are you using? Locks awesome
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JUSMEJOSE:
It's a hard clear cover case I'm getting a tpu later this week ....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saltmine:
Where did you buy this case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
As i have now tried 3 different screen protectors i can say this:

ZAGG/KINGFISH: both sold by car phone warehouse are no good.

Zagg is a flimsy piece of skin which once fitted is not even smooth. Your finger will not slide on the screen and it makes the view on the screen quite poor as well.

Kingfish is a Matt type screen. Its smooth but also covers the front camera and goes beyond the beveled edge of the phone making it easy to collect dust. Viewing is not very good and i suspect covering the sensors won't do any good either

Positive: Protex

Sold by phones4u and online. Cheap when compared with the above and easy to fit. (I always use droplets of water to fit as it eliminates dirt and little dust fibres to the minimum)

Easy to slide the finger on, does not cover the sensors or cameras.

Rock screen protector: similar to protex, a bit wider and same quality. Highly recommended to the point that i have cancelled the original protectors that Samsung will bring out later in the month.

Overall if you want something that will be good and not disrupt the feel and view, the 2 above ones are ideal. I'm sure there will be other more or less expensive but i won't be testing any new ones.

sent with SGS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saltmine:
Are Protex and Rock wet or dry protectors? Do they stretch to the edges of the phone? Or are the edges exposed?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
The eyes are slightly exposed about 2mm.

They are not soft protectors and that makes them very good. No glare or other issues. Zagg is a soft one and the most problematic one.

When you say wet or dry i suspect you mean needing to use spray water to apply. Both rock and protex do not need water to apply but using it makes it much easier to apply

Wet application screen protectors

I originally got a dry application screen protector (the ones with the sticky stuff) as an interim measure. After a few days it did start peeling up slightly on the edges as the screen is curved on the edges. I then ordered an XtremeGuard protector (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/23080181...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3744wt_1396) which is a wet application one. It has been sooooo good. Since it is wet application it is alot more flexible and can hence handle the curved edges. Also the XtremeGuard protectors don't suffer from the 'lemon-peel' effect of other wet application screen protectors.

Not saying anything bad against other screen protectors, more just sharing my experience with some screen protectors. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HoundDK:
Gear4 Case vs. Case-mate

Hi,

Your Gear4 case looks very nice and pricing is reasonable.

Do you have any experience with the Case-mate barely there cases and how it compares to your Gear4 case?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
If you are referring to me unfortunately i don't have any experience with the case mate. To be honest i think all of them come out of one or 2 different designs and just add up the different feel on them. I find that the rock vs gear4 have exactly the same cut outs and design, but different texture.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
I remember using that screen protector from eBay for my old phone. When I peeled off number 2, even the screen protector comes off with it. :( I realized that I get what I paid for. I've stop shopping from eBay and get premium ones even if it costs more than $10.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Read from other people that it does have that effect
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kim319:
thanks for the review OP, but in the future could you please take pictures of the phone before you apply the matte film?

especially in the shots where you positioned the lights to be directly overhead it would be even more valuable if we had a before shot to compare against.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pivo99:
Has anyone found a anti glare screen protector that covers the entire screen? Like a complete circle around the home button and all the way around the ear piece on top...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] toptekjon:
That's exactly what I was thinking!

I just got an anti-glare cover for my SGS3, and I'm thinking I won't be able to live with it as is. The quality of the on screen images goes WAY DOWN!!

Maybe I'll try the clear cover just for scratch protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] berage_x:
Same thing, big disappointment... I went ahead and decided to give the OP's suggestion a shot, I do not know how the OP is enjoying it. I have used matte screen protectors before without that effect

You have to get a wet applicator screen protector like Zagg invisible shield or xtremeguard and I'm not sure if they sell it in anti-glare. Reason for this is because the edges of the SGS3 glass is curved so the dry applicators will not stick to the bend and will just lay flat over the curve and eventually collect dust. They spoke about this on page 2.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abarax:
This afternoon, I received a notification that I had an update for Adobe AIR. When I attempted the update, it stuck on "Downloading," with the progress bar flashing but not downloading. I ran the usual steps through the grinder (cleared Google Play cache, did likewise to Google Services Framework, deleted and readded my Google account information, and rebooted the Fire), but no luck. I even did a full sdcard wipe, reinstalled the newest gedeROM with 4/29 Google Apps, and still nothing. I was convinced it was my Fire having a compatibility issue, but now my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Asus Transformer TF300T are doing the exact same thing!

Is there a current Google Play Store outage/update in progress that's not being reported? I know Gmail and YouTube were having issues awhile ago.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudinatrix:
I googled for this issue and came across your post and another one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27165478

Anyway, I'm having the same or similar issue on my Galaxy SII. I'm not seeing many other complaints online so it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue. And I think it's just over wifi for me. I can't test it too well because I exceeded my 5GB of data this month so I'm throttled to terrible edge speed.

What are the thoughts on ICS on minipro?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
I'm not satisfied. I think im the only one going back on gb. In currently on gb .58 fw after a day on using the official ics.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate our ics updates but I don't like it.

The Sony home launcher is ridiculous. Switching from one home screen to another home screen is a pain in the ass. So does scrolling from top to bottom. Don't ask me why just try it. The UI scrolling is really clunky.

Im now back to stock gb .58 fw and I like it more than the official ics

USB otg functions doesn't worked on gamepad. Using a mouse using USB otg on ics is horrible. All buttons act as a touch.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
The scrolling is a bit hard because you need to drag the screen almost 50% to make them slide themselves..but overall,it is smooth but it kinda consuming battery...:(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
Does ICS have any clear benefits?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] UchihaDareNial:
As I stated,it is smooth,faster and many ICS only apps (eg. Google Chrome) can be install.It also one of the currently latest android version,android 4.0.4 :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mohdaqib17:
My thoughts on ICS :

My thoughts on ICS :

[1] More user available RAM as compared to Gingerbread [earlier 335mb now 340mb] :)

[2] Same GUI as Gingerbread [corners]. :(

[3] New Application Icons which are cool. :)

[4] Ice Cream Sandwich Apps and Games are now supported [eg. Chrome, ICS Browser+, APEX Launcher, Nova Launcher] :)

[5] Phone is smooth as it was on Gingerbread. :)

[6] Smart Dialer :)

[7] New themes :)

[8] Swipe to dismiss Notification and Recent Apps. :)

[9] Live View in Recent Apps :)

[10] Default Browser is really very fast on 3g networks. :)

However, there are some bugs in Ice Cream Sandwich on Mini Pro and other xperia devices but they will be solved in the upcoming updates from Sony...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
Sony has done a good job of the update. Ics is as smooth as gingerbread. I feel that the phone is more snappier and zippy. I like those corners in the launcher as I get to make shortcuts to all my fav.apps. The only problem is that the L.E.D works only when the screen is on.:( But the bootup animation is sexy.:-D.

Conclusion: Ics update is very smooth and good.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
The scrolling is much less elastic than in GB. That's the problem. Its a problem with all ICS ROMs. It's a desired efffect by Google, but it is irritating at first for users who came from GB, as they are used to the very elastic scrolling in GB.

There might be some mods to fix this. We need to wait for a developer to feel that the earlier scrolling was better.

Other aspects of ICS are cool. According to me. Sony has done a good job by implementing TimeScape on ICS.

The bugs which lots of users have been complaining about has not really bugged me much. So I am happy with this update.

+it was fun to remove all those crap ware that came with this update. And it was a mojor enhancement to the performance. As it freed up lots of RAM.

Thanks,

Rick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iampoch:
Hi folks,

I just encountered this problem yesterday. I found my updates running really, really slow. It doesn't even show how many MBs are being downloaded. Even installing the downloaded file takes forever.

Not only that, even using the Applications in Settings to move apps to SD is uber slow. Calculating space taken up by apps are slow as well. Everything else is snappy, though, like typing, opening apps, etc. It just seems like the malady is limited to app management.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to correct this? :-(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pinoysw1mmer:
Might as well try and kill 2 birds here. I have 2 problems with my rooted sidekick right now.

1) Very very very low internal memory. At this moment, by clearing the data of every app and text I could and deleting the facebook app, I have 14mb.

I'm really not sure what the heck happened, since I barely download anything (I think all I have 3rd party app-wise is facebook, twitter, baconreader, avast! and dolphin browser mini...) Is there any good way to check what exactly is eating up all my app memory? Or is there any good way to stuff everything onto my SD? I have like a gb left in there.

2) Even before I rooted my phone, I never get a vibrate when I get a text. I still get it for calls, but just never for texts, no matter what settings I put it in. Anyone have this problem?

I'm running with Gingerclone v2 iirc. Any help on these matters would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Hmm, now that you mention it, I see that I can't get a vibration for texts either, with any combinations of settings. Currently running stock KJ2 with the Bali_nxd kernel. I didn't know that was an issue with the device, but maybe it is.....?

As for the storage issue, where are you checking how much space is available? I have 53 apps installed, and I am showing about 170 free MB internal storage, and I check Task Manager regularly, and I tend to run with 50-70 free MB of RAM at all times.

Oh, and by default, all apps that CAN go to sdcard SHOULD go to the sdcard. You can check each individual app in settings/applications/manage applications, or DL a free market app to manage moving apps to sd. But I haven't done anything special, and all the apps that are able to have been stored on sd.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Okay, so Gingerclone uses AOSP messenger. You may have already tried this, but in the text messaging app, so into settings>notification settings>vibrate-and select always.

You may have already done this though, but if not, that should solve your problem!;)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pinoysw1mmer:
Ok, totally thought I had posted a reply. So basically, tried changing the settings multiple times in multiple combinations, and it still won't vibrate on text :/

And with the memory, I bit the bullet and deleted Facebook and Twitter because those were the biggest apps I had, and it still only gave me a whopping 36mb of free space on my phone. And it says I don't even have enough free app memory to download an app manager. Although I only have 4 or 5 3rd party apps, and whatever came with gingerclone and stock. Its really not that much, and yet I can't free up any more memory at all. Even wiping all the data of all my apps frees up a couple hundred kb's at most.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I can't seem to get text messages to vibrate either....

As for the low internal storage, have you tried Odining back to stock, just to reset everything, and maybe that will reset/fix your data partition?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] redcheetah:
Use stock text message. It will blink led and vib. Aosp dont
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
Ah ok cool, thanks. I am using the stock messaging app tho. But not the stock Touchwiz launcher... do you think that could be the issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pinoysw1mmer:
Okay, so I ended up ODIN'ing my phone back to stock. Should I try and put Gingerclone v2 back on, while putting the stock messenger back in? Or do any of you guys have a different suggestion for an os?

i don't think there is any way to use GPS, or any apps, on the 09 LX. the data servers for those devices were shut down a year ago or more. unfortunately, you can only use calling and texting, as far as i know.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
There was a third party GPS app for the Sidekick LX, but I don't recall the name.

I do remember that it was ten bucks a month! Yep, no lie... a month...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ernest101:
So today I was flashing various ROMs, and I did my usual titanium back up, but this time it was different, something about an Android ID being changed due to a factory reset.

I googled it and found very little of it, except from Rootzwiki that

They just implemented this for people that want to keep their Android ID.

For instance, whenever you do a full wipe Google Music will tell you to authorize the device again. Since soon, they will limit the device changes per year this won't be a problem if you can keep your ID.

Now I want to know whether is it really important to restore to previous ID? I ask this is because after I restore the ID, then only I am able to download Plants VS Zombies additional data (I was unable to download previous to the restoration). Or was it mere dumb luck I manage to access EA's server?
