Hello everyone,

when I got my SGS3 I was very excited. However, I noticed a possible production fault with the display, and I kindly ask any other SGS3 owner to check, whether this affects your phone as well.

Here is what's wrong:

When the you are in a dark environment (e.g. in your bedroom, reading in bed with your lights out - that's when I noticed it) and display a black image (most conveniently displayed with a display test app for example Screen Test - no outside links allowed for me, yet. Just look for it in the play store. It needs no rights and should have no strings attached ;-)).

Once your eyes have adjusted to the darker environment light, you will notice, two things:

a) the 'black' of the SGS3 is - by far - not as black as it was back on the SGS2. It looks much more greyish to me, as you see somehow kind of a back lighting. Don't know why you can see this, as I always thought AMOLED does not need such a thing, but anyway.

but much more importantly:

b) you see (at least that's what can be seen on my phone) little black (they are really black, in contrast to the display) 'snakelike' or 'wormlike' formed rubbish behind the display, which looks to me like sawdust or cuttings. Definitely a fault from production, though.

As I am not equipped with a good camera I am unfortunately not able to provide any photos (remember, it has to be dark in order to see 'through' the screen).

Can anyone confirm he has - or hopefully for you - has not these kind of problems?

The only good thing is, that the 'worms' are only visible in very rare circumstances. But now that I know that they are there, I always look out for them. And that is really annoying :(.
[Galaxy S III General] kulzboy:
Like this?

If yes then you're not alone everything related should be in this thread. If something else, try to snatch a picture of it or reproduce it in Photoshop
[Galaxy S III General] a1miii:
Thanks, exactly like that. Didn't find it with the search function though. Thread can be closed, I guess ;)
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
Cuz you're using the wrong terminology.

Those are often referred to around here as "blobs".

Skyrocket and Hercules (both GSII) are full of them.

But when ICS leaked for Skyrocket, it made the dark grey more black and it became harder to see the blobs, though they are obviously still there.

It never bothers me. But when I got a warranty replacement phone for a different issue, I noticed it had a lot less blobs on it than the first phone did.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
For NANDROID backups, the time stamps Joker's recovery uses are about 6 hours ahead of my phone's time (Central Time). Is there any way to use that time instead?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xopher.hunter:
This happened to me on my epic 4g and my og droid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
sounds like UTC without daylight savings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
Me too
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Is this happening on your Photon too? Any way to modify the time setting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] BigSketchySeaBeast:
Could just set your clocks back! :/
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ha! Very funny...
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
it's in UTC time. CWM has always been this way. on all 4 of my android phones with CWM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Yes, that is what I figured. It would be nice if it could use the time as displayed on the phone.

Big Deal on the Beats By Dre that come with the REzound. So they will work with Android phones.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261031836807#ht_2872wt_1209
[Member-Found Deals] joeyz400:
Do you think they are knock offs?
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
No, my guess is that HTC stopped including them and unloaded a bunch.
[Member-Found Deals] rockstarar:
I think they might be fake

~
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
It says they got them from a large company that bundled them with a cell phone (rezound) . They come with a one year manufacturer warranty. I don't see how they are fake.
[Member-Found Deals] joeyz400:
I hope they are the real deal... I want to hear some reviews first. When you guys get them pump them up and let us know :-)
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
My estimated time of delivery is 6/18 so I'm not sure the deal will still be going when that comes around for me to review. Also I'm not big on the Beats headphones as they are just overpriced and marketed headphones but for 40 and with controls that work on Android I'm all about it.

I bought them because, 1. I know HTC was going to stop including them with phones, 2. Beats by Dre were no longer going to be made by monster...both of those says to me there is going to be a lot left over and they will be dumped for wholesale.

also the seller is a reputable one on ebay and they come with a manufacturer warranty.

If you are interested buy them, I believe the seller has a good return policy. So if they are iffy you can return them but if they are legit you won't miss out on the deal.
[Member-Found Deals] AnyMal:
I wonder if these comes with extra ear tips. Anyone?
[Member-Found Deals] xxKamikazexx:
They dont. They come with the second biggest ones.
[Member-Found Deals] wiswis:
Anyone get them , r they worth the 40
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:

Looks like they are shipping out of Stanta Clarita CA. just so people know.

Waiting on your word. I have my money ready.
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
From my tracking they left California but no new update.
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
Got them. Seem legit, will try them later.
[Member-Found Deals] 4redstars:
My nephew got his and he said they sound great, and his had the manufacturer's warranty card. I haven't tried mine but I had to email the seller as mine didn't come with the warranty card.
[Member-Found Deals] Deputy13:
Have you got a chance to check them Out yet?
[Member-Found Deals] wesley762:
Got mine in today, seam like the real deal. Made some calls with them and worked great. Very loud headsets, clean sound. I would feel confident in getting them if your still thinking about it.
[Member-Found Deals] Feeshie:
Sorry for bumping an old thread but is this deal completely dead?
[Member-Found Deals] MKOROFI:
Man, in hong Kong there are all kinds of fake beats headphones. They look exactly the same as the real ones. Be careful boys.

Peace to all. Always. Thank you XDA
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
If they sound good to you that's all that matters in the end!!!
[Member-Found Deals] xxKamikazexx:
These are real. They come in a matte black finish with the mic, forward/back buttons instead of volume up/down, and only have the second biggest ear buds. Basically what you would of seen with the rezound back in the day. They sound the same as the non android ibeats I bought for Christmas.
[Member-Found Deals] MKOROFI:
Sounds good and kocher then! Enjoy! With a chicken burger too maybe... ;)

Peace to all. Always. Thank you XDA

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
My friend is on CM7 for the Evo 4g. He wants to know if there's any way to increase how long the lock screen stays lit up before it sleeps again(like when you light it up to check the time). I've personally never seen any option for that before, and honestly never cared about it but now I'm curious.

So does anyone know where or how to change that setting? I'm not adverse to modifying a few system files here and there if necessary.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
I had the cm7 a few month ago and i think i can remember that u can change it in the cm settings.

I know the settings are huge =) but anywhere in there i think under the topic where u can change the way the screen is locked (not the one in the system settings go to settings-->cyanogenmod settings)

Let me know if i was right
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merhan94:
..

Go to settings --> Cyanogen Mod settings --> Lockscreen --> Delay and timeout
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
Thats what I meant =)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] soclean:
For you nice people running ics, does the tasks app allow for syncing other than with the phone? Such as Gmail. Apps in the market provide it I just haven't found an answer and I figure I won't until ICS is officially released. Any info would be useful thanks guys. Yes Google and the search key are my friends but I haven't found any answers. I also added my Gmail as a corporate sync account with no positive results. This is all using gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] m3ta:
No, it does not.

I know they are many other threads for Smileys but my request is unique. I am BIG on smileys and the particular site I frequent the most has some amazing smileys. I want to know how, if at all possible, that I can replace the current smileys and even add to them some of the great smileys I have. I will post some examples of the smileys I would like.

I have a way to use them now, but it converts message to MMS and that's the issue. I want to be able to send them as SMS if it's at all possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnMcW:
No

SMS is for Short TEXT messages

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS

Not picture messages,

the smilies that show up in SMS messages are the smilies that are stored on the phone. It just sends the codes ;-)

not the pictures. You can replace the smilies that show on your phone, but it won't change what the person you are sending the smiley to sees.

You would have to get them to update their phone smilies too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dch1314:
thanks, that makes sense. A follow-up question then.

When sending the pics, why must the picture go to top of message rather than where I am attempting to insert it? It doesn't seem to have a copy/paste option either so it seems any pic I attach will be stuck at top which defeat the purpose of these perfect expression smileys
[HTC One X] JDBurnie:
Okay, so i was just scrolling through my apps, then my phone randomly restarts, and wont go past the HTC Beats screen, and when it does, the screen is just black.

So i restart into bootloader, and it says "Locked" at the top, and "security warning" beneath it.. so it appears its relocked itself?

WHAT DO I DO?

Thanks :)

Edit: Tried unlocking the bootloader again, no result, got error message "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

Man, first off I'm not being a douche. My favorite 2 developers are Virus and the Kernel God Chad but neither of them have switched over. The Rom choices just seek weak to me and I blame stupid ass apple for this! No disrespect to devs but being stock is so killing me. I've been holding out for virus and chad but idk how much longer I will last... Stock is ok, but Damn I want a custom Rom. From the looks of it, no roms are even themed yet!

The LTEVO says hello!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Uh, the development has been superb considering the lifespan of this phone. They've already:

1) Made tweaks to control the cores to optimize speed and reduce lag.

2) Adjusted memory to fix multi-tasking thar HTC killed.

3) Added in QuickSettings and lots of other little tweaks with visuals (removed location icon, changed battery icon, etc).

4) Made two custom recoveries, a one-click root method, and allowed for USB Mounting in recovery.

5) Reversed the Apple BS thing.

6) Lots more that I can't think of right now.

You DEFINITELY sound like a douche man, but I think you just have too high of expectations. My expectations have been far exceeded so far by this stellar group of devs. Have you ever owned a phone on release day before?

No idea. Its been driving me nuts too. Its the only reason I don't run aokp or cm9. I've tried pushing the libs and framework stuff with it to no avail.

Seems I have the "unknown caller" bug back in this. Incoming calls are showing up as unknown caller. Can anyone one using this on Rogers confirm? Am on R4ins AOKP Linaro build.

Am using UCLE2 and (obviously) 4.0.4.

No worries, I know it was a Rogers specific issue. Might try the regular Build 38 and see if it's an issue there as well... tbh, it's not a big deal for me - I just don't answer (lol - LEAVE A MESSAGE DAMMIT!). Will probably wait for the AOKP next week that Armyvet mentioned earlier.

Running the r4ins linaro build. Everything going smoothly with the exception of the camera fc'ing all over the place as soon as I try to open it. Using vignette as a solution in the meantime.

Coming from cm9. Factory reset and wiped thoroughly, flashed from, flashed gapps, rebooted. Fixed permissions and rebooted again. Still having the camera fc. Cleared cache, cleared dalvik. Still having the issue.

It's not the APN - everything works EXCEPT the caller id display function. I do know it was/is a Rogers specific issue because we have Name Display as well and afaik ATT doesn't. It was an issue with a specific baseband or ICS version, I just can't recall which. Was just curious if anyone else on Rogers running any one of the two AOKP builds here were having the same issue.

LOL re: spam sites. Here's one of the threads on it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1571987&highlight=rogers+unknown+caller+

Apparently it was fixed in 4.0.4 which is why I find it odd that it doesn't work with the AOKP R4in linaro build. And it's not just calls that "hide" the number, I've called from my work to my cell and in the past it's come up with the call ID.
