[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_southampton:
I was thinking that GB would probably be better on single core Arc... but it was a close call.

Anyway, so far ICS is doing nicely. Certainly faster than it used to be, but that's probably down to the increase in memory I got by going with a custom ROM.

Out of curiosity, what might BB 72 offer by way of improvement?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N01tra:
As far as I know, there's no difference between .70 and .72 basebands.

But I found it easyer, when I did the steps, to just flash the newest firmware, which included the .72 :)

I have recently tried unlocking my bootloader on my Arc S using fastboot with this nice video that taught me how but when i go to put this code in the CMD (fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version) i get something saying "waiting for device"

i dont whats wrong i have ADB installed and everything else to perform this unlock, could anyone please tell me how to fix this problem for the Xperia Arc S thank you

- Bootloader Unlockable: Yes

- Build: 4.0.2.a.0.62

- Version: 2.3.4

I want to unlock my bootloader so i can install custom kernels and also root my phone

Edit: not allowed to link the video due to not enough posts (im new)

I had this problem yesterday, the problem I had was the phone was not going in to fastboot mode. Is the light on your phone going blue and staying blue while the screen is black? On mine the light flicked onfor 5 seconds then off and the phone then went into recovery.

I bought the Samsung pogo pin dock, overpriced as it is. It works well enough, but the clock is not the most exciting dock program to run. I noticed I can no longer get the original Samsung desk home app on the GNex (which is probably a good thing). I didn't find anything good. Can anyone recommend a better dock app?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alwaysonjohn:
I had terrible GPS reception even before I flashed NexusMod GB. However, I finally found a good fix for the gps to lock on to my location. Make sure you download the correct version. I downloaded the 2.x google and i also tried the 2.x att since i am on 2.3.6 and both worked great!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1438129

Instructions that worked for me:

Method 3 (easiest if you use a compatible version of CWR or CWM)*:

1. Download the patch

2. Boot into CWR (Clockwork Recovery)

3. Mount /system/ partition (on the main menu, select the "Mounts and storage" option, then "mount /system")

4. Flash the patch (on the main menu, select "Install zip from sdcard," then "choose zip from sdcard," and find the zip and select it)

5. Reboot the device

6. Review the NOTES section.

*This was built for and works on Inspire 4G and DesireHD versions of Clockwork Recovery. The Google CWM Flashable Build has binaries known to work with CWM on the X8. It may work on other devices. Please message me your success if you try and flash with recovery version and phone model as part of the message.

Once it boot up I went to system>location and security> and disabled use wireless networks/use gps satellites/use sensor aiding. I then rebooted and enabled use gps satellites. I then opened google maps and my gps is now finding me faster and it actually gets close to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I patched this today because it seems to take at least 5 minutes to lock onto a location. This did not help unfortunately. I'm thinking I should do a fresh odin of the official ICS...I did an upgrade from UCLF5 through Kies. I guess I blame myself for forcing it to a probably untested scenario.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Lucid first try downloading gps status, clear agps and download the data again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
Thanks. After reading the forums and noticing that it wasn't a major issue for most, I realized the problem was mostly my device. Reading through the notes, I tried the battery removal for 30 seconds suggestion. I thought it had 1% chance of working, but after I did it, it actually started locking on instantly again. If this doesn't stick, then I'll try the clearing of agps. I think that probably sounded like it would have worked too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WolfmanRobby:
Actually, just try turning off using network based location services when you plan using the GPS. I just leave if off unless I'm indoors and need a location fix.

I fought this for the last year and a half on my Atrix 4g, and the same thing when I got my SkyRocket last week.

Fire up GPS Status and Toolbox (Free, and a GREAT app! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&feature=search_result) and watch how long it takes to get a lock from a cold start of the GPS.

With the wireless based location services on, it can take 2 to 5 minutes for the phone to get a location. It shouldn't, but it does. But, with it off, I get a GPS location fix in under 10 seconds when outside.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
I don't really understand what you're worrying about. SUS only lets you update/repair your phone: it has never let you downgrade to an older firmware, so it will never let you downgrade to GB. But as andro-SYR said you can always flash it back via flashtool.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Hi all,

first of all, I'm not a fan boy of any kind. I've been using so many android devices in the last years, I'm more of a tech fanboy then a <brand>fanboy.

Given that, I'm not soddisfied at all with S3: reading and viewing so many preview and review of this phone, I though it will last more than one day and that it would be fast as hell and lag free, at least, this is what everyone is saying in every damned review I saw/read.

I had in these passed 6 month: gaalxy s2, sensation, galaxy note, sensation xe, galacy nexus and right now htc one x and sgs3.

Well, the sgs3 is not so much better as everyone is saying, in particular, is not better at all of htc one x as every comparison review is stating.

What's up? Is that just me or what? My sgs3, with the same operator's sim is lasting less than htc one x and it's not fluid at all, at least while scrolling through homes!!! Of course, even the one x has some microlagging while scrolling through homes, but I though sgs3 would have no lag at all.

Does anyone else see it?

What it's really strange dealing with battery drain, is that the phone drains a lot even while in standby. The first voice in my battery stats is phone cellular stanby? How can it drain more than the screen???

Any "smart" answer is very appreciated, but please, avoid phrases like "you got a lemon, change it": what I'm saying it's not that it lasts me4 hours, I can get through the whole day with sgs3. But it does not last more than one day as everyone is stating! I mean: I get 17h unplugged with 3h screen on, it's on par with all the other phones I had...but not with Galaxy note or One X, they really last more than one day.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
Can you make a video of the lag so that we can see what you're experiencing? because I and most people have a smooth interface so maybe an app or your setup is causing problems?

Regarding the battery life, I got something like 22 hours with 5 hours screen-on (screenshot in battery life thread in general) and that was with pretty heavy usage - games, videos, web browsing. But you're right there's definitely high cell standby drain in the current firmware. Hopefully it can be fixed. Also, there's an led notification app, can't remember what it's called, that has a bug that drains the battery on the gs3. See the battery life thread in general for more info.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Hi, first of all, thanks for your answer. I'm not talking about huge lag, but the tipical microlag that you get while scrolling through homes in every android phone up to nowdays. I got some microlag while scrolling on HTC One X too.

If I can I will upload something tonite.

Your battery stats is great: 22h with 5h screen-on is a very good result. Do you use data connection always on? How many charge cycle did you perform?

Anyway, no, I'm not using light flow as my phone is still on stock rom, no mod yet! :P

TIA
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
Yeh wifi and 3g always on. here's a link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26864539#post26864539

But even with the good results I'm getting, I don't think the phone would last 2 days because of the high cell standby drain. Its definitely a problem that needs to be fixed.

Regarding the lag. I get UI framerate drops in the following:

- Task switcher if there are a lot of apps open

- Browser bookmarks with thumbnails enabled

But they're the only areas that I've noticed have noticeable fps drops. Another annoying thing is for example the ABCDEF... list to the right of the contacts list, it seems to take a second or so to become responsive when you start dragging your finger down it, kinda spoils the experience.

Also, touchwiz launcher seems to need to reload when RAM gets used up.

So yeh it's not perfect but overall it's lightning fast and battery life is superb. Will be even better with software updates :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
I'm getting 1day 5 hours with 7 hours screen on and minimal standby drain.

The only lag I experience is 'sticky' vertical scrolling.

I did drop touchwiz in favor of go launcher but that was only because I found it too boring.

So far this phone has more than lived up to my expectations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Do you mean you have no lag at all (neither a micro lag) when scrolling through homes?

Yes, noticed the launcher reload sometimes.

I don't know, maybe it's just me 'cause I had so many phones and in particular an HTC One X to compare it with? I don't find it any faster than one x but in web browser, nor it lasts more than one x! :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Wondeful battery stats. Lucky you or unlucky me?

Do you use 3G data always on?

Just curious: which mobile phone do you have before buying the s3?!?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
No noticeable fps drops when swiping through the home screens no. I only have widgets on 4 pages though so will try adding more and see if that makes a difference.

I also owned a hox (tegra3) but returned it because of the bad battery life and laggy browsing (tried lots of 3rd party browsers too) and ui fps drops, overheating and screen flex.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
I had a hd2 and had managed to get pretty good battery life on it as well.

I find a lot of little things add up.

I let very few apps sync.

I have black or dark backgrounds wherever possible.

I don't use haptic feedback.

I only use gsm unless I'm actually doing something that requires more speed but I do have data always on.

I switch WiFi and GPS off when not in use.

I use auto brightness.

I use betterbatterystats and battery monitor pro to keep an eye on things.

I avoid battery savings apps like the plague as they invariably increase battery drain.

Hope some of these help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
That's funny, I have a tegra 3 One X and I have none of the problem you had, or, at least:

- first one x rom was quite laggy, now it's much better, on par with s3, but always with some microlag

- no overheat but when playing heavy games like shadowgun, while s3 gets really hot even when just surfing

- very decent battery life, better than s3

- no screen flex

- no laggy browser until flash player is on demand

Oh well, maybe my One X is an S3 and the S3 is a One X!?!? :) :P

Joking apart, you can notice microlag when you scroll very fast through homes both on One X and on S3. I have 5 pages and widget on every page on both phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
I have several app syncing (4 gmail account, 1 yahoo account and 1 exchange account, everyone along with its calendar part), twitter every 30 min, beautiful widget weather every 1h. GPS always on, 3g data always on. Auto brightness on all the time.

I see, using gsm only, no gps and few apps syncing really extend battery life, but I want to be able to fully use my phone. Moreover, both One X and S3 have the same apps, the same account synced and almost the same widgets (sense one apart), but One X last longer! :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Of course, I've already tried everything I could in order to lessen the lag: I'm using a static wallpaper, but micro lag is there. Maybe it's ust a matter of defying what microlag is: if I do scroll fast through home pages I have some microlag, I can see the animation is not completely fluid.

I have the following widgets: beautiful widget clock 4x1 (but I tried even with samsung standard plain digital clock), google search widget, music widget, stock ics calendar widget, plume (but I even tried with the static official twitter widget), photo gallery widget, weather pro widget.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
One more thing: using SpyCPU I saw that sgs3 it's for 70% of its total standby time in deep sleep, while one x it's for 80%. Moreover, one x has more states with low CPU freq (100mhz, 70, 50) while sgs3 has 400mhz as lower freq used state, 300 and 200 are unused. :/

I guess that the Tegra companion core going so low in frequencies...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
I've never understood the need for a companion core since arm cpus can disable each core independently. So in essence any core can be a companion core when all other three are disabled. The chipset can also adjust voltages and clocks for each core independently too.

Anyway here's hoping Samsung release an update to fix the high cell standby drain.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oli2k:
If the battery reporting is correct and if Samsung can resolve the cell standby drain then the battery life is excellent on the S3. 6 hours plus screen, wifi, browsing and so on is excellent

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Well, given the great standby drain one x has, I must admit tha companion core does a great job in saving battery. Moreover, from what I saw with cpuspy, companion core does support many more low speed frequencies that normal core does not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Of course, I noticed it too, but only if I set CPU saving too into battery saver mode. With such a setting the,lag is even more noticeable, otherwiseise it's just micro lag, but lag nevertheless!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aratheba:
Still using stock rom and never tried another launcher yet. But nice to see I'm not alone. Anyway, what I'm experiencing is not a lag in closing apps nor in starting them, just a micro lag when I scroll through home pages very fast, while if I scroll slowly no lag at all. I mean, as I said, it's not such a terrible problem nor it's such a shame: I had so many android devices that I know that every one of them need some time after market release to express its fully potential, it happened to me with every one of them, really. What I can't stand and what I dont really understand is why almost everyone is stating that this is the perfect device right out the box! It's not! Nor it is superior to one x as most of comparison review say.

You know what? For the first time in android history I see what I see into apple ecosystem in these last years (I'm even an apple addict in my own way...): "just because it's an iPhone it's perfect" and here it becoming "just because is a galaxy s it's perfect". Maybe it's just me. I hate any kind of "fanboy-ism" in life: sport, politics, technology, etc. Expecially in this last one: I'm not the type of guy who, just because likes a brand or even worst bought an expensive device, must say that it's perfect.

Hi,

I hace the same problem.

Any solution ?

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Is it always unresponsive or just sometimes? From what I've heard, that's an AOSP keyboard problem. I'm guessing the Sola uses the default Android ICS keyboard, so it should be affected by that bug too. There are issues posted on Android's Google Code issue tracker. Not much can be done at this point till Google fixes it, other than using an alternate keyboard. One thing - when the key goes unresponsive, turning off the screen and turning it on fixes it temporarily.
